Title: Tipsy Chocolate Pecan Crunch Ice Cream
Categories: Desserts, Chocolate, Ice cream
Yield: 1 Batch

1 c Pecan halves
2 c Heavy cream
2 c Granulated sugar
2 c Half-and-half
1/4 ts Lemon juice
8 Egg yolks
1 oz Unsweetened chocolate;
- broken into 2 pieces
1/4 c Myer's dark rum

Equipment:

Measuring cup;
measuring spoons;
baking sheet with sides;
two 2-1/2 qt saucepans;
whisk;
metal spoon;
cook's knife;
cutting board;
2 qt plastic container with lid;
electric mixer with paddle;
rubber spatula;
instant-read test thermometer;
2 stainless steel bowls (1 large);
ice cream freezer

Preheat the oven to 325?F. Toast the pecan halves on a baking
sheet in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool to room
temperature. Combine 1-1/4 cups sugar and the lemon juice in a
2-1/2 qt saucepan. Stir with a whisk to combine. The sugar will
resemble moist sand. Caramelize the sugar for 8 to 10 minutes over
medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a whisk to break up any
lumps. The sugar will first turn clear as it liquefies, then light
brown as it caramelizes. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the
unsweetened chocolate and stir gently to blend. Pour the
chocolate & caramel mixture over the pecans and stir with a spoon
to completely coat the pecans with the chocolate caramel; spread
the mixture evenly over the bottom of the baking sheet. Freeze the
chocolate pecan crunch for 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer.
Chop the chocolate pecan crunch into 1/4" pieces. Store in a sealed
plastic container in the freezer until needed.
