Take-out Tuesday, Caramel Butter Pecan Ice Cream Pie
You’ve heard the old saying “easy as pie”
well, it must have been this pie they were talking about!
It doesn’t get any easier than this!
I used Trader Joe’s Candied Pecans,
but you can use any pecans~
see notes in the printable recipe near the end of this post
Give the pecans a rough chop
Combine Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter,
maple syrup and pecans in a large mixing bowl
Gently fold everything together
Add a drizzle of caramel
Fold the caramel into the ice cream
Transfer mixture into the pie crust
If you don’t want to use a ready made graham crust,
use any pie crust you want
or make your own cookie crust~
Shortbread cookies or Pecan Sandies would be great

near the end of this post for directions
Cover and freeze at least 6 hours before serving
Drizzle the top with caramel syrup
Cut into wedges to serve
Drizzle slice with more caramel if desired
Yes, please! 😋

You can even skip the crust and just make the ice cream!

Oh, yum! Looks so, so good. I wish we had a Trader Joe’s! I’ve never been in one, but so many people post the great things they can buy there, I’ve noticed especially beautiful flowers. I don’t know if Walmart has candied pecans, but I’ll look for them. Thanks for sharing on Happiness is Homemade & Crafty Creators!
