Ice Cream & Nuts

Nuts lend themselves very readily to being used both in ice cream recipes and as a compliment to ice cream desserts and sundaes. Here are some of my recipes for ice cream with nuts as key ingredients:

crunchy pecan & maple syrup
coconut ice cream
pistachio ice cream

Nuts make ideal ice cream toppings, adding extra color and flavor to any ice cream cone or sundae. The kind of nuts most often used as toppings include:
hazelnuts, walnuts, pecan nuts, almonds (chopped, flaked or whole), coconut (shredded or flaked)
