Watch closely. Cool completely. Spread ice cream over crust. Cover with foil and freeze. To serve, cut into wedges, top with sauce and 1 whole pecan. Caramel Sauce: Combine all ingredients except vanilla. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Boil about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
