Homemade Cinnamon Pecan Ice Cream

August 27, 2012 by Evelyn 51 Comments

In Texas, we love homemade ice cream and there are so many creative flavors but not like this Cinnamon Ice Cream with pecans. It’s an easy ice cream recipe without eggs.

A very good friend of mine (thanks, Carol) gave me this cinnamon pecan recipe years ago and I was a little skeptical.   No way would that would be good, but I was so very wrong, it is delicious.  In fact, I haven’t made any other homemade ice cream since we tasted this one.  The only change I have made to it was changing the nuts.  It was originally Cinnamon Walnut Ice Cream but since I live in the middle of pecan orchards, it’s pecans all the way.  And it’s a delicious ice cream recipe without eggs only half and half and whipping cream.

But of course, you can leave out the pecans and still have a fabulous ice cream.  We lived in the Mesilla Valley in Southern New Mexico for 15 years.   It’s considered high desert but since the Rio Grande river runs through this valley from the north to the south we had irrigation water from the river.  So there are acres and acres of farmland.  One of the main crops of the valley is Pecans, the other is  Hatch green chile.  We have miles of pecan orchards and then just outside of the Valley is the desert.

 

Pecans for ice cream

 

 We lived on a little Pecan farm but just 1 mile up the road is the desert.  It’s kinda fun, we had the best of both worlds, beautiful farmland but then a desert to play in with ATV’s (aka Quads).   These were the trees along my driveway that grew the awesome pecans for my ice cream.  We planted 45 trees when we first bought the property in 1998.  And since we had pounds and pounds of shelled pecans each year, we made loads of cinnamon ice cream with pecans. 
Update:  I have since retired to the Ranch in Texas and I do miss these trees.  My son was married under these trees.
 
Pecans for Ice cream
 

We have two different cinnamon ice cream recipes because when we have company we use our six-quart ice cream maker but if it’s just the two of us we use our 2-quart ice cream machine.

 

This Cinnamon Ice Cream would be great served with:

  • Knock you Naked Cake
  • Maple Walnut Blondies
  • Chicago Dogs

    This ice cream sounds wonderful, Pinned. How neat you live in a pecan orchard. Here in Georgia, pecan trees are everywhere you look. Don't know why I never thought of them growing anywhere else. Such a blessing to have your own trees and be able to stock up each season. I know we love come September, still having pecans in the freezer from last season.

    Telling me not to peek is futile šŸ˜€ I couldn't resist! I am worse than a kid when it comes to that LOL! Pecans are my favorite nut – by far … and putting them in cinnamon ice cream is brilliant! I will need the 6qt version šŸ˜‰

    Evelyn, you know how to live! I love homemade ice cream. Haven't made it in a long time. I used to enjoy it as a kid even before the electric machines. Of course we took turns cranking it back then. How smart were you to plant those trees when you moved in! Nice move. Thanks for stopping over at Quirky Vistas and leaving me a nice comment. I am so glad you visited!

    I've never had cinnamon ice cream, but I know I would LOVE it. Especially with pecans. We've been getting winds from Isaac all day and all I've heard is my pecans being blown from the tree. Sadness!

    No fair!! I come over here to see what you've been up to and you have icecream?? You are going to be the sole reason if I get fat. I blame you. Darn it. Now, I have to go find pecans. Because us northern climate people don't have pecan trees. Wouldn't that be lovely :). But…I do have blueberries! Hmmmm. That sounds yummy!

    Another way to make ice cream, and no machine needed:

    Whip 2 c. heavy cream to soft peaks.
    Drizzle in one can sweetened condensed milk, and beat to stiff peaks.
    Add-ins would be anything you want – for your Pecan Ice cream, add cinnamon, vanilla, and chopped pecans. LorAnn Oils make a pecan flavor which would make it a more pecan flavored ice cream.
    Pile into a lidded container and freeze.

    For Chocolate Mint – add mint extract, green food color, and mini chocolate chips.
    Etc.
