I Made That! Brown-Butter Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Veteran cookbook writers Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough wrote a book called À LA MODE: one hundred and twenty desserts in six pairings, each dessert with its ice cream, gelato, sherbet, or sorbet.

In this episode, Mark, the writer in our duo, is going to whip up a batch of butter pecan ice cream. Except he's going to make it even better by using brown butter in the custard for a richer, nuttier flavor.

In the previous episode, he made brown-butter graham crackers under Bruce's watchful eye. Ever the chef, Bruce has lots of critiques for Mark, the writer. But the results are fantastically tasty!

Brown-butter butter pecan ice cream? What could be better?
