SassiFras's Note:

I found this recipe in the Miami Herald. I'm posting this to Zaar because I don't want to lose it. I haven't made it yet, but will do soon. This one sounds to good to pass up! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• ½ cup whole milk or ½ cup low-fat milk , cold
• ½ cup pecans , chopped, toasted
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 quart butter pecan ice cream , softened until just melty at the edges

Directions:

1. Place milk, pecans, and maple syrup in a blender and blend to break down the pecans and mix thoroughly, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the ice cream and pulse several times to begin breaking it up. With the blender motor off, use a flexible spatula to mash the mixture down onto the blender blades.
3. Continue pulsing, stopping, and mashing until the mixture is well blended, thick, and moves easily in the blender jar, roughly 30 to 90 seconds.
4. Pour into a chilled glass or glasses, and serve at once.
