Butter Pecan frozen custard - instructions for Ninja Creami (other ice cream makers can be used)
Whisk egg yolks until they lighten in color
Pour whisked eggs into saucepan
Add honey
Heat over medium low heat, whisking constantly until honey is melted and mixed with the egg yolks
Remove from heat
Add butter and stir until melted (place pan over low heat if butter doesn't melt quickly)
Stir in honey
Shake can of coconut milk (if using canned), open and measure 1 ⅓ cups
Pour two tablespoons of coconut milk into the eggs mixture and whisk until combined, repeat with two more tablespoons, and then add the rest of the coconut milk and whisk until completely combined
Cool completely
Lightly toast pecans in frying pan over medium heat for a few minutes or in air fryer at 380F° for one minute (keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn)
If using regular ice cream maker, follow manufacturer instructions for churning
Stir in toasted pecans as soon as it's finished churning while frozen custard is still soft
Pour cooled mixture into Ninja Creami pint jar
Cover with lid and freeze for 24 hours
Use the gelato setting on the Ninja Creami
If crumbly re-spin once or twice - you can make a hole in the middle and add a tablespoon of coconut milk to make it creamier, but I was able to just re-spin as is
Make a hole in the middle of the frozen custard and pour in toasted pecans
Use the mix-in option
Store in freezer
If frozen custard hardens, leave on counter 10 - 15 minutes to soften before serving, you can also re-spin if frozen custard is still level
