Date, Rum, and Pecan Ice Cream

This is the perfect date ice cream. Ha ha…er, sorry about that. Ahem. Anyway, sweet dates and rum make a good duo, but having lived in San Francisco for many years, where it’s often whispered that there’s no better way to liven up a pairing than by adding a third element, I offer you this ménage à trois of flavors in one sybaritic ice cream. Be careful when heating the rum and dates: The rum can flame up, so keep an eye on the action before it gets too hot to handle.

Cooks' Note

Feel free to substitute 1 cup Wet Pecans (page 198) or 1 cup Spiced Pecans (page 197) for the toasted pecans.
