For an even richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar when caramelizing the pecans. If you don't have maple extract, a tiny splash of bourbon can add a delightful warmth to the ice cream. Be careful not to burn the pecans while toasting; constant stirring is key. Burnt pecans will make the ice cream taste bitter. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
