Pecan Crunch Ingredients
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour

- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
Pecan Crunch Directions
- To make the pecan crunch, preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the pecans, oats, sugar, flour, and melted butter.
- Spread the mixture onto the parchment line cookie sheet. It will be a bit like granola. Bake at 400 F for 5 or 10 minutes or until browned. The mixture will spread out and look like a giant oatmeal cookie. Let it cool completely and then crumble it into small pieces.
Pumpkin Ice Cream Directions
- To make the ice cream, beat the heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.
- In a 2 quart glass bowl, layer 1/3 of the ice cream mixture, swirl in 1/3 of the caramel and sprinkle on a good dose of the pecan crumbles. Repeat the layers 2 more times. Freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
