Rich As Croesus Praline Ice Cream Dessert image

A wonderful Southern dessert - pralines, pecans, caramel, vanilla ice cream - what could be better? This comes from the mother of one of my mom's friends - she was a true Southern Belle! Everyone who's tasted this has LOVED it! I personally prefer Breyer's ice cream because it's all natural without guar gum or any other odd-sounding stuff added to it. I buy Smucker's because it's good and readily available. You certainly can use any brand of either. Do allow enough time before you serve so this can be well frozen - put it together at least 5 or 6 hours before you want to serve.

Time 5h20m

Yield 1 panful, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup softened unsalted butter (preferred)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup coarse-chopped pecans
2 (15 -19 ounce) bottles smucker's caramel sauce
1/2 gallon breyer's brand natural vanilla ice cream, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix together the butter, brown sugar, flour and pecans. Spread evenly on a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with Pam (or lightly greased).
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until browned.
  • When cooled, break into coarse praline pieces. Set aside 1 1/4 cups.
  • Cover a 9" X 13" pyrex dish or pan with the remaining praline pieces.
  • Pour 1 1/2 of the jars/bottles of caramel evenly over the praline pieces. Freeze for 45 minutes.
  • Remove pan from freezer and evenly cover all with the softened ice cream, (I sometimes use a little more than just a 1/2 gallon - personal preference).
  • Sprinkle top of ice cream with the set-aside praline pieces and drizzle the remaining caramel sauce ~artfully~ over the top.
  • Freeze.
  • DO remember to take this out of the freezer about 1/2 hour before you want to serve it. If you forget, you'll need a hammer and chisel to get it out of the pan!
  • This needs to be in the freezer for at least 5 to 6 hours before serving.
