Add a cooling rack to a baking sheet that will fit into your freezer.

Wearing a pair of rubber gloves, use a large ice cream scoop, scoop 2 balls of ice cream into your hand and quickly shape into a ball, place on the cooling rack. Repeat until you have 4 ice cream balls. 

Freeze for 30 minutes. If the balls are not perfect you can re-shape them after they freeze.

Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 20 second increments, stirring between increments, until melted

Make sure the melted chocolate is not too hot. Pour the chocolate in an even coating over the one of ice cream balls, immediately sprinkle with pecans. Repeat with the rest of the balls. 

Freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serve with your favorite caramel sauce.

*Tip – Freeze the bowls or plates that you are going to serve them on so the ice cream does not melt as quickly.
