Ingredients

1 cup pecans

1 Quart Premium Vanilla Ice Cream (May substitute with Light or Frozen Yogurt)

Caramel Sauce:

(Quick Alt: or buy quality jarred Caramel)

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

Freshly Whipped Cream:

(Quick healthy Alt: Low Fat Cool Whip)

Pint of Whipping Cream

Tsp Vanilla

dashes of Sugar to taste

Crushed Blackberries:

(Quick Alt: if inconveniant can leave out cassis liqueur and mix less sugar to taste)

2 pints blackberries

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup cassis liqueur

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.

Crushed Blackberries:

(Also has worked leaving out the cassis and I added a hint of vanilla)

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.

Whipped Cream

(Or buy Cool Whip as Alternate)

Place the pint of whipping cream in a small bowl. Begin whipping with an electric mixer. The cream will begin to thicken. Add tsp of vanilla. Continue mixing adding sugar in by teaspoon amounts untill it's at perfered sweetness.

Caramel Sauce:

(Quick Alt- Micrwave or Stovetop: Heat caramel gently for a few minutes at a time stirring regularly- do not microwave in Jar)

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.

When each element of the desseert is done:

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.

Enjoy this somewhat complicated or quick and easy recipe. Either way it's delicious.
