How to Make Pecan Crusted Ice Cream Pie With Caramel Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg white, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup pecan halves until combined.
  3. Press the pecan mixture firmly into a well-greased 9-inch pie plate, forming an even crust.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely before chilling.
  5. Once the crust is completely chilled, spread 2 cups of coffee ice cream evenly over the bottom of the crust.
  6. Top with 2 cups of vanilla ice cream.
  7. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  8. While the pie is freezing, prepare the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 large egg yolk, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
  9. Whisk constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
  10. Remove the pie from the freezer a few minutes before serving. Pour the warm caramel sauce over the top.
  11. Garnish with extra pecan halves and a sprinkle of sea salt (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
