How to Make Butter Pecan Sauce For Ice Cream

  1. In a medium-heavy saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
  4. Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until it is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  6. Gently fold in 1/2 cup pecan halves.
  7. Serve the warm butter pecan sauce immediately over your favorite ice cream or dessert.
