Butter Pecan Protein Ice Cream
Serves 12 mins prep15 mins cook
Take the guilt out of a guilty pleasure with this Butter Pecan Protein Ice Cream recipe. Protein Ice Cream? Yes, its ice cream made out of protein powder. Butter Pecan is my flavor because crunchy roasted pecans with a buttery vanilla ice cream is just to-die-for. I really like this one since it makes for a good dessert, and also a nice alternative to the usual protein shake. It goes really well with a warm cookie, baked oatmeal, brownies, the list can go on. Ice cream makes everything better now doesn't it? P.S. Customize this to whatever flavor you like, and you don't even need an ice-cream maker!

Instructions
Coarsely chop pecans and toast in half butter and half sweetener in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside. Melt other half of butter in same skillet until froth disappears and browned. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, protein powder, melted brown butter and other half sweetener. Pour mixture in a small resealable plastic bag. Mix ice and salt in a large resealable plastic bag and place small bag in it. Shake vigorously until ice cream has hardened, about 7 to 10 minutes. OR Freeze in ice cube trays and blend. OR Use an ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to a bowl and fold in cooled pecans. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until solid, for about 20 minutes. Store in the freezer in a sealed container until ready to eat!View original recipe
