In a medium bowl, pour cold heavy whipping cream into a bowl and whip with an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks. In a small bowl, add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and maple extract. Mix it together until combined. Then pour into the whipped cream folding it in until it’s thoroughly mixed together.

the steps are similar. The only difference is that you don’t need to whip the heavy cream. In a medium bowl, mix all of the liquid ingredients together except the buttered pecans, those are put in at the end.

Cover and chill the mixture for an hour or two, then pour it in the ice cream maker.
