In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of whole milk. Stir occasionally until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Continue to stir until the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove from heat.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 1 cup of pecan halves and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Cook the pecans, stirring frequently, until they are toasted and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
Pour the cooled cream mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream is thick and creamy.
Fold in the caramelized pecans into the ice cream gently.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Serve in bowls or cones for a delightful dessert experience. Enjoy your Buttered Pecan Bliss!
