Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup milk (adjust for desired thickness)
  • 4 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecans
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Additional caramel sauce for drizzle
  • Extra toasted pecans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Toast the Pecans: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and toast your pecans for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are fragrant and lightly browned, unlocking their full nutty flavor.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add vanilla ice cream, milk, caramel sauce, toasted pecans, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a blender. Pulse until smooth but still thick enough to enjoy.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Check the milkshake’s sweetness and texture, adding more caramel sauce or milk as needed to perfect the flavor and consistency.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the milkshake into a chilled glass, top generously with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of toasted pecans for a classic Southern finish.

Notes

  • Use quality caramel sauce, homemade or gourmet, to elevate flavor.
  • Don’t skip toasting pecans for enhanced aroma and crunch.
  • Chill your serving glass to keep the milkshake colder longer.
  • Pulse the blender to maintain a creamy yet slightly chunky texture, avoiding overblending.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually and taste as you go to avoid overpowering flavors.
  • Reserve some toasted pecans for garnish to keep them crunchy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before serving.
  • Freeze blended portions for up to a week; thaw slightly and blend briefly before serving.
  • Reheating is not recommended; remix or add milk if thickened.
