Though I’d hardly be one to tell you to break with tradition on Thanksgiving, I might suggest you add one more dessert to your line up: ice cream! Inspired by the flavors of my cranberry pecan crumb bars (brandy, brown butter, cranberry, maple, pecan) I had a hunch that those same flavors would make a stellar ice cream, and I was right.



Creamy brown butter ice cream (like a really good vanilla bean, but better) is ribboned with a pretty cranberry swirl. In the spirit of holiday indulgence, brown sugar and cinnamon candied pecans make a rich and welcome topping.
