Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened (or Kite Hill brand if dairy free)
  • ¼ cup ALLULOSE or equivalent (to desired sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

BUTTER PECAN LAYER:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup pecans plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup allulose
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Place the heavy cream in a chilled bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Add in the softened cream cheese, natural sweetener and vanilla; combine until smooth.
  • Place the mixture into a bendable chocolate mold (I used this muffin pan and placed it on a cookie sheet for stability). Place in freezer until frozen.
  • To make the Butter Pecan layer, Place the butter in a medium saucepan over high heat. Use a whisk to stir occasionally. Heat until butter starts to froth. Start to whisk often while brown flecks appear. Continue to heat and whisk until the butter turns a dark golden brown (not black).
  • Place the brown butter and the rest of the ingredients into a blender and puree until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Divide the mixture into each ice cream bottom. Garnish with additional pecans.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving. Store covered in the freezer for up to 1 month.
