Today’s Unique Creation: Caramelized Onion and Bacon Ice Cream

As the seasons change and winter approaches, my cravings for comforting, savory treats grow stronger. Today, I’m excited to share with you a truly unique and unexpected ice cream creation that combines sweet, savory, and creamy flavors in one delightful scoop — Caramelized Onion and Bacon Ice Cream.

To start off, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 150g bacon, chopped
  • 500ml heavy cream
  • 250ml whole milk
  • 100g sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Prepare your kitchen tools:

  • saucepan
  • ice cream maker
  • whisk

In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan with the bacon drippings, add the sliced onions and cook them slowly until they are caramelized and golden brown.

Once the onions are caramelized, add the sugar and continue cooking until the sugar has melted and coated the onions. Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring until everything is well combined. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add the crispy bacon pieces to the ice cream to incorporate them evenly.

Transfer the churned ice cream into a container and freeze it for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly. Once ready, scoop out a portion of this unique Caramelized Onion and Bacon Ice Cream and indulge in the sweet, savory, and creamy flavors that blend harmoniously together.

Approximate total weight of cooked dish: 900g
Approximate number of servings: 6
Average weight of one serving: 150g
Approximate calorie count per serving: 350 calories

Tip: For an extra crunch, sprinkle some additional crispy bacon bits on top of each serving before enjoying!

I hope you give this unexpected ice cream flavor a try and discover the delightful combination of caramelized onions and bacon in a creamy frozen treat. Feel free to experiment with different additions or toppings to make it your own unique creation. Enjoy!
