PECAN PIE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Working quickly, scoop the rum raisin and chocolate chip ice cream on the pie, alternating flavors. Freeze the pie until the ice cream is firm, about 30 minutes
• Drizzle the chocolate shell over the ice cream. Sprinkle with the pecans. Freeze until the ice cream is very firm, about 1 hour.

PECAN PIE SUNDAE

Steps:

• In a serving dish, add the crushed pecan cookies, scoops of butter pecan ice cream and a dollop of the Bourbon Whipped Cream. Top with the chocolate sauce and candied pecans.
• In a chilled bowl, add the cream, sugar, bourbon and vanilla. Whisk until medium peaks form, 5 to 8 minutes.

CARAMEL PECAN SUNDAES

Steps:

• For the caramel, mix 1/3 cup water and the sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook, without stirring, over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a warm chestnut brown (about 350 degrees on a candy thermometer), 5 to 7 minutes, gently swirling the pan to stir the mixture. Be careful; the mixture is extremely hot! Watch the mixture constantly at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly. Turn off the heat. Stand back to avoid splattering and slowly add the cream and vanilla. The cream will bubble violently and the caramel will solidify; don't worry. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits. To assemble the sundaes, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream and one scoop of butter pecan ice cream in each dish and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve extra sauce on the side.

BOURBON-MAPLE-PECAN SUNDAE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it foams. Add the pecans and toss to coat evenly; toast for about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and swirl until it melts; toss to coat the nuts. Add the bourbon and maple syrup and remove from the heat. Swirl the sauce to mix, and then allow to cool slightly in the pan. Pour the sauce over scoops of ice cream to serve as a sundae. Season with a little pinch of salt. Serve immediately.
