Hi Bold Bakers! It really doesn’t get better than this butter pecan gelato recipe. It’s a refreshing treat during the hot summer, but the flavors always remind me of the Christmas holidays! Already have an account? Plus, if you’re like me, you can’t get enough of toasted pecans. Pecans themselves are delicious, but please just imagine the smell and taste of pecans combining with sugar as the flavors come together and the butter starts to brown. The hardest part of this gelato recipe is not eating all of those pecans before you have the chance to add them to the custard! Nutty, caramelly, and with a texture to die for—this may just be the perfect gelato!
What Is Butter Pecan Gelato?
Gelato is somewhat like ice cream, except gelato has less cream and more milk. The result is an unbelievably creamy frozen dessert that is packed with flavor. This gelato based is complimented by buttered pecans, which adds a fantastic flavor and texture to break up the creaminess. It hits everything I love in a dessert: different textures to keep each bite unique and flavors that are the perfect amount of sweet and salty.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Butter Pecan Gelato
Use full-fat dairy to give you the best tasting and creamiest gelato. Make the gelato base up to 2 days in advance. The flavor gets better as it sits! Be sure the gelato base is cold before churning. The colder it is, the faster it will churn. If you are looking to buy an ice cream maker, I use a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.
How Do I Store Butter Pecan Gelato?
Your homemade gelato can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.
