Ingredients

1 cup pecans
1 quart premium vanilla ice cream
Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
Crushed Blackberries, recipe follows
Freshly whipped cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool before coarsely chopping.

Place a scoop of ice cream in a parfait glass and top with caramel sauce, crushed blackberries, and pecans. Repeat 2 more times and then top with a large dollop of whipped cream.

Caramel Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 vanilla bean, split in 1/2 lengthwise and seeds scraped

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter

Pinch salt

Place the heavy cream and vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove the cream from the heat and let sit while making the caramel.

Whisk together the sugar and water in a medium non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Cook until dark golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the caramel from the heat and immediately add the cream slowly, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Return to the heat and cook until the mixture becomes smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and salt. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.

Crushed Blackberries:

2 pints blackberries

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup cassis liqueur

Combine the blackberries, sugar, and cassis in a medium bowl and stir well. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, use a fork to crush the blackberries.

Nice twist
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Nice twist to make watermelon more interesting. This recipe is perfect for an under ripe melon that needs some extra flavor.... I wouldn?t necessarily use this on a great tasting melon because it would probably be better on its own.Read more

Hmmmmm!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is divine! I served this wonderful dessert at a casual dinner party for twelve. I followed the recipe exactly except... instead of the Casis I used Chambord because that is what I had available. I used homemade vanilla bean ice cream and fresh blackberries purchased at a Farmers Market. The carmel sauce is easy and absolutely delicious. This is a fabulous combination of flavors.Read more

Caramel sauce is awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used this combo for a new york cheesecake and it worked out great. I didn't have any leftovers. The caramel sauce is sooo... good. I was sad I didn't have any left over.Read more

Big Hit with Guests
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this twice for company and it has gotten raves. Very easy to do -- and no leftovers to take up space in the fridge.... A great use for fresh-picked blackberries. (Oh -- I didn't have cassis so I mascerated the blackberries with Chambord -- came out great)Read more
