Thank you, James! Just one word of caution - it is addictive :-) Have a great day!

Hi Thiago! The same question came up on my strawberry ice cream, so I did some research and here was my response to the strawberry ice cream question. It is also possible simply to leave out the sunflower lecithin, or do one of the following substitutions - hope this helps! I am adding this as information to the video, since I noticed that several people have commented that they cannot find or get lecithin in their area, and have asked for substitutes. Here are three easily-available substitutes that I feel will work best and are the healthiest, and why I choose these substitutes. First, sunflower lecithin is used as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in many prepared foods, especially in ice cream and dairy products. I choose sunflower over soy lecithin because of the GMO nature of most of the soy, and soy is a less than desirable ingredient, especially for males. The first suggestion for a substitute: Use pure cocoa butter in equal measure to the replaced sunflower lecithin. So, a 1:1 substitution. Melt the cocoa butter, and add it at the very end of the cooking time, after you have turned off the heat, while your custard is still hot. Stir or whisk very well to incorporate throughout the custard. The second suggested substitute: Use raw large egg yolks. Egg yolks are also an emulsifier and binder, with the benefit of added fat content, but not as good a binder and emulsifier as sunflower lecithin. To substitute, use one large egg yolk for every tablespoon of lecithin powder. The third substitution, which you can find at most health food stores, is egg yolk powder. If available, buy the egg yolk powder from free-range chickens for most nutritional benefit. As stated above, egg yolks are also a binder and the powder can be substituted on a 1:1 basis for the lecithin. In the past, I have used glucomannan as a stabilizer and thickener in a previous ice cream recipe, and although it did help, it did not produce as nice a result as this sunflower lecithin does. I have also tried gelatins, and did not like the texture, even when I used small quantities. As far as xanthan gum and guar gum, I do not use these products, because I don't like their texture, and the fact that some people have sensitivities to these. I am sure that for some recipes these are good alternatives, but I have no experience nor comment on how they would affect my recipes. As always, this is just my opinion, and not intended to be medical information of any kind. Always, please verify for yourself, but I do hope that this is a good starting point for suggestions for substitution for lecithin. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, and I hope that this information is useful to you. Cheers!

Thank you, Jennifer! I am glad that you found the instructions informative - enjoy the ice cream!

Hi Donna! Thank you for letting me know - Enjoy!

Thank you, Cheryl! I hope that you will enjoy it when you have the chance to make it - Have a wonderful day!

Hi Jenn! Glad that you like the recipe - Cheers!

Keto Meals and Recipes I’m not only like it I LOVE IT ahahah ❤️❤️❤️

I am glad to hear that!

My pleasure, Saleh Al! I'm glad that you like it.

Hi YouCantTunaFish! It is true, you can do that - but I wanted a bit bigger chunks than when you roll them. Thank you for your time-saving recommendation! I think that that is a great technique when making muffins or cookies, and want smaller pieces. Have a lovely weekend!

@@KetoMealsandRecipes Ahh I see! On second thought then, I like your way better--I like bigger chunks in my ice cream! Thank you for this recipe. I can't wait to try it!

Hi You Can't Tuna Fish! I love this conversation, and I'm glad that you took the time to comment. I hope that you will enjoy the ice cream. It is, in his opinion, one of my husband's favorites! I, on the other hand just love ALL kinds of ice cream! Have a great day!

@@KetoMealsandRecipes Me too! And I'm glad my thick head actually learned something! lol I'll let you know how mine turns out. Thanks again!!

My pleasure!

Hi Dr. Singh! I am glad that you like this recipe. Enjoy!

Hi Pjmjd Murdach! Thank you very much - Enjoy!

Hi Spritual and Healthy! You could, but it would be less sweet and creamy, because buttermilk has a more acidic taste than cream. Have a great day!

@@KetoMealsandRecipes thank you 🥰🥰🥰

My pleasure!

WOW! Thank you so much, Sweet Jane! What a wonderful suggestion and thorough explanation - I will definitely try making the pecan milk! I can imagine that using pecan milk will enhance the flavor. Thank you again for taking the time to provide such a detailed comment - I really appreciate it. Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you, Tina!

Hi Mike! Great minds must think alike, because I have actually made an almond butter with chocolate swirl ice cream. Here is the link for your convenience: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8mifsuHsrqWiqs.html I hope that you will like this ice cream, too. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Vonita! I actually have a Maple Candied Walnut ice cream recipe as well. Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZhkjLCIr7W7nYU.html I recommend that you candy the walnuts, because they are a little bit more bitter than the pecans. I hope that you enjoy the recipe. Thank you for your question - Cheers!

Hi NMQuetzalcoatl! Very interesting situation you described. In most circumstances, with a good quality cream, this should not happen, as neither the salt nor the almond milk are acidic. Milk or cream should only curdle when you add an acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice. Like the situation you described, I have, however, had an issue with certain brands of whipping cream from time to time, because of the different additives and stabilizers that they add to make whipping cream more shelf stable and easier to use than organic full fat cream. Although the additives improve shelf life, some of them affect interaction with other ingredients. I'm going to be posting a very special cake when I reach 50K subscribers, and when I was making the custard for this cake, I found that it would also look curdled, and would not fluff up like it was supposed to - that was one of the rare times that I had that happen, so we investigated and discovered that the ingredients of the particular brand of whipping cream (not one I usually used) was probably the cause of the curdled look, and why it wouldn't create a smooth custard. In fact, I made two batches of the custard, both failed with the first brand of whipping cream, then I got my regular whipping cream and the recipe worked perfectly and the custard came out smooth and velvety on the first try. So, my best guess would be something to do with the cream itself is the issue. That would be my best guess as to why your cream looked curdled. What they adding to make it "whipping" cream does affect it when you use it for custard, I hope this helps - Have a great day!

@@KetoMealsandRecipes I agree on the other stabilizers that are in the cream that could be an issue and I made 2 other batches however I used a unflavored almond milk instead of the costco almond milk with vanilla and they came out fine. So I assume it had something to do with the costco brand almond milk with added vanilla. Thanks for your reply

My pleasure! I really enjoy trying to help. Enjoy the ice cream!

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by - Have a wonderful day, Special ED Andrew!

Thank you very much, Very Own! Enjoy!

Hi Adriana! You can skip it altogether when making this ice cream. The sunflower lecithin just helps to keep it a little bit creamier, and to freeze into a solid more slowly in a home freezer (ice cream parlor freezers are not as cold as a home freezer, and commercial ice creams use gums and other ingredients to keep them from being as solid, that we don't use when making home made ice cream). If you love making ice cream, you should try getting the sunflower lecithin at some point - it just makes it creamier - I hope that you enjoy the ice cream! Have a wonderful day!

You are awesome! Thank you!

Always glad to help! Enjoy the ice cream!

Thank you very much, Dorothy! Enjoy!

Thank you, Gwyn! Have a nice weekend!

Hi Jenny! At the 5:17 point in the video, I mention that I put it into the warm custard at that time. I film my own videos, and I guess I forgot to press the record button before adding the sunflower lecithin, so I mentioned to add it at that point. I am sorry if this caused you confusion, but I hope that this explanation helps. Have a great weekend!

Makes sense now!

I appreciate you taking the time to ask your question, and it was my pleasure to answer!

Hi Melissa! For this particular, custard based butter pecan ice cream, yes, you must use the eggs. However, you could look at my dairy free vegan mint ice cream recipe, and use the sweetened the sweetened condensed milk as a base, rather than the eggs, but you have to use the vegan mint ice cream recipe as it is, except substitute flavorings. Here is a link for the vegan mint ice cream: www.ketomealsandrecipes.com/recipe/dairy-free-mint-ice-cream/ Are you looking for just an egg-free ice cream, or a vegan ice cream? I'd be happy to make another video for a butter pecan that is egg-free, if that is your specific dietary need. Let me know what you need - I'd be happy to make more ice cream videos :-) Have a great day!

Thank you for responding and yes I will like a vegan recipe

Hi Melissa! Thank you for getting back to me - I will make a vegan butter pecan soon. Have a great weekend!

Hi Mia! Good question - yes, you can. I know that you will know this, but the coconut milk does have a stronger taste than the almond milk, so it will affect the final taste a bit. Alternatively, you could use cashew milk or some other nut milk as well. Enjoy!

Keto Meals and Recipes ... whole milk allowed instead of almond? Will it change the texture?

Hi Dakiniwoman! There are several categories of ice cream. If you want a really luxurious, velvety ice cream you have to make a custard base. And, yes, it is a bit more work, but so worth it. The difference in cooking versus other styles of ice cream is the difference between Haagen-Dazs and a generic store brand. You, of course, must do what suits you, and what you find most appropriate to your needs. My concern is about raw egg yolks in an ice cream. I do make no-churn ice creams that are not custard based, if you find this recipe too many steps. Thank you for your comment - Cheers!

@@KetoMealsandRecipes Thanks for your reply. Yes, I understand. I have not tried any recipes yet as I just ordered a Cuisinart Ice cream maker and it has not arrived yet... I will try your way. Cheers!

Congratulations on getting an ice cream maker - you must be an ice cream lover too. I got mine from my kids one Mother's Day as ice cream is my favorite dessert. Here's my playlist of machine and no machine ice cream flavors you might be interested in: kzfaq.info/sun/PLgHsNkvQXxM86uSSVJRQM770Hygf0fpRj If there is a flavor that you don't see in my playlist that you like, I appreciate suggestions. Have a wonderful day - Cheers!

@@KetoMealsandRecipes Thanks for your message... I got the machine! I am pretty excited to start. Bowl is in the freezer. I would like to make Coconut Ice-cream but not the Traditional Thai version as that one doesn't have any heavy cream in it. I am definitely going to try making it with cream. I do not use sugar or sugar substitutes so mine won't be sweet. This is because I am a carb addict and can't eat sweets.

Hi Dakiniwoman! I am glad that you got your machine, and thank you for the suggestion for the coconut ice cream. I use Lakanto sweeetener, which is an erythritol/monkfruit blend, or sometimes xylitol, which are not your typical sweeteners. Could you use those in place of sugar or regular sugar substitutes (e.g. cane sugar, honey, etc.)? I was able to wean myself off carbs/other sugars with these sweeteners, but please do what is in your best interest and works for you. Have a good weekend!

Hi Umm! I'm sorry, but I don't have the serving weight for this recipe, but the entire batch described in the written recipe is for 8 servings, each of which has 5.5 grams total carbs, and 3.3 grams of net carbs, after subtracting dietary fiber. Here is a link to the written recipe, in case you haven't seen it: www.ketomealsandrecipes.com/recipe/butter-pecan-ice-cream/ Have a great weekend!

Hi Anoush! I think that you must be a bit confused. The recipe uses dairy full-fat cream and unsweetened almond milk, both of which are keto. You must have been looking at a different recipe, from another channel, because I only use cream (and not dairy milk) in my regular ice cream recipes, and non-dairy vegan milks for my vegan and dairy-free recipes. Have a great day!
