2 Ingredient Ice Cream without a Machine – Butter Pecan
2 Ingredient Ice Cream without a Machine – Butter Pecan. An ice cream recipe made with 2 ingredients, but the goodies you add to it can make endless yummy flavours!
Smooth, creamy and rich describes this 2 Ingredient Ice Cream Recipe. Whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk are all you need to make a vanilla flavoured ice cream.
You can turn the vanilla ice cream into anything you want by adding ingredients to the sweetened condensed milk before it’s mixed with the whipped cream.
Fresh or frozen and thawed fruits, candy bars, cookies, nuts, chocolate chips, caramel sauce….the list is ENDLESS!! I decided on Butter Pecan Ice Cream.
I toasted my chopped pecans in a cast iron skillet to release the oils in the nuts to get a better pecan flavour. I melted 3 Tablespoons of butter and added 1 Tablespoon of light brown sugar along with the toasted pecans to the sweetened condensed milk.
I whipped the heavy cream to stiff peaks and folded the milk mixture and whipped cream together. I poured the mixture into a loaf pan and waited the 6 hours till it froze. Could it get any easier? I don’t think so! This ice cream is creamy and rich and couldn’t be easier to make! I’m making blueberry ice cream next! Enjoy!

Thank you Joanne, I hope you both love it!
Love this idea, my husband cannot have the nuts is there an extract or flavoring I can use instead of the nuts?
Hi Lisa, yes you could absolutely use an extract, any flavor you’d like.
Help me understand how the ice cream doesn’t get all icy and stays creamy; do you know what I am saying, lol?:) Thank you for any info
Melissa I really don’t understand the science of it but I can tell you that it is absolutely creamy. It pretty much freezes hard so you’ll have to let it sit a bit before scooping. It’s very rich and good!
I thought I HAD to have an ice cream maker to get the consistency
Why does it say “two ingredients” …there are more than two. Just sayin’….
Hi J, it’s 2 ingredients to make the ice cream not counting the stir ins you can add. You could eat it with just the 2 ingredients mixed together.
What two ingredients are you counting when I see five listed??????
The ice cream recipe has 2 ingredients. I flavored the ice cream recipe with pecans, butter and brown sugar. You can add what ever you want to to the 2 ingredients to make other flavors.
What 2 ingredients are the main staple for making this ice cream?
Is the picture you shared actually from this recipe? Also, is it okay to use this in an ice cream maker, or would that defeat the purpose of this particular recipe?
Thanks!
Hi Molly, yes this is the picture I took of the 2 ingredient ice Cream after I made it. I wouldn’t put this in an ice cream maker, it really would defeat the purpose of the recipe, no churning at all is necessary.
Butter Pecan has always be my favorite since a child.

Searched for an easy, no cook buttered pecan ice cream recipe to make with my eight year old granddaughter who is a pecan pie lover. Came across yours. Results were excellent!
Thank you Rachelle!
Loved this easy to make ice cream. I used the base flavours and added my own. Thickened Milo with cookie crumbs. I did find the 1 tin of condensed milk a tad too sweet but then again the sweetness could hv come from the Milo too.
so glad you enjoyed this!
Thanks for the recipe. I have 2 cartons of Butter Pecan ice cream in my freezer right now…lol!!! 😃
Yum!!!
