PECAN-CARAMEL PARFAITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put pecans in a pie plate and roast in the oven until nutty smelling and toasty, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove ice cream from freezer and let stand at room temperature or at least 15 minutes to soften.
• Remove nuts from the oven and let cool. Turn off oven.
• Choose 4 to 6 clear plastic parfait glasses, beer glasses, or any see-through unbreakable glass of at least 12-ounce capacity.
• In each of the glasses, put about 2 tablespoons caramel or butterscotch sauce in bottom. Top with a layer of softened ice cream, packing it down slightly and being careful not to smear the sides of the glass too much (if you do smear glass while making layers, wipe down inside with paper towels as you work). Sprinkle with a teaspoon or so of pecans. Continue layering in the same fashion: sauce, ice cream, pecans until you reach the top of the glass. Make the last layer sauce and sprinkle it with pecans.
• Wrap the glasses tightly with plastic wrap and put in freezer (or outside in the snow) until ready to serve.

BUTTER PECAN PEACH PARFAITS

Steps:

• Heat sugar in a dry heavy medium skillet over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt. Stop stirring and cook, swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is dark amber.
• Remove from heat and immediately add water (mixture will bubble up and steam), then cook over medium heat, stirring, until any solids are dissolved and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add butter, swirling skillet until incorporated.
• Serve peaches and ice cream with warm caramel sauce.

PEACH AND BUTTER PECAN ICE CREAM ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9x5" loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Chill pan until ready to use. Toast pecans in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 5-8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Place jam in a medium bowl and whisk to loosen, then gently mix in half of the whipped cream. Mix vanilla and salt into plain whipped cream.
• Scoop half of vanilla whipped cream into prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. Arrange a layer of crackers on top, breaking or cutting to fit as needed. Add half of peach whipped cream, smooth into an even layer, and top with another layer of crackers. Dollop ice cream across top and smooth into an even layer. Add a third layer of crackers, followed by remaining peach whipped cream. Repeat with a fourth layer of crackers and finally spread remaining vanilla whipped cream over (don't worry if it's a little higher than edges of pan). Scatter reserved pecans on top. Cover with plastic overhang and freeze until set, at least 6 hours.
• To serve, using plastic overhang, unmold cake (if it's hesitant to come out, run the sides of the pan under warm water for a few seconds to loosen) and cut into slices. Do ahead: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.
