Sundae Shoppe Butter Pecan Ice Cream 48 fl oz

Sundae Shoppe Butter Pecan Ice Cream in the 48 fl oz (1.5 quart) container is a rich, savory-sweet dessert characterized by its buttery, slightly salted base and the distinct crunch of roasted nuts. It is a traditional "comfort" flavor that emphasizes nutty aromas over high-sugar sweetness.

Core Ingredients

The premium flavor profile is achieved through a specific roasting process and a balance of salt to contrast the dairy fats:

• Buttery Vanilla Ice Cream Base: Composed of skim milk, cream, and sugar. The "butter" flavor is often enhanced by natural flavors and a touch of annatto or caramel color to give it a warm, golden hue.

• Roasted Pecans: Real pecan pieces that have been roasted in butter and lightly salted. This ensures the nuts remain crunchy even when submerged in frozen dairy.

• Natural Flavorings: Includes butter and vanilla notes to deepen the caramelized profile of the base.

• Stabilizers & Emulsifiers: Uses guar gum and carob bean gum to provide a smooth, scoopable body and to help the pecans stay evenly suspended throughout the large tub.

Energy & Nutritional Profile

Because pecans are naturally high in healthy fats, this flavor typically has a slightly higher calorie and fat density than fruit-based varieties. A standard 2/3 cup serving (approx. 100g) contains:

Key Characteristics

• Salt-Sweet Balance: The roasted, salted pecans break up the sweetness of the ice cream, providing a savory undertone.

• Rich Mouthfeel: The combination of milkfat and the natural oils from the pecans creates a velvety texture on the palate.

• Value Format: The 48 fl oz tub is designed for family sharing, and the high fat content helps the ice cream remain soft enough for easy scooping straight from the freezer.
