Savory Sweet Ice Cream Delight

Crispy Bacon and Maple Syrup Ice Cream

Today, I am excited to share a unique and indulgent dessert recipe that combines the savory crunch of crispy bacon with the sweet allure of maple syrup. This unexpected pairing creates a delightful contrast of flavors that will surely surprise and delight your taste buds.

Ingredients

• 150g bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 100ml maple syrup
• 300ml heavy cream
• 200ml milk
• 50g brown sugar

Kitchen Tools

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• saucepan
• ice cream maker

To start, pour the heavy cream and milk into a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and maple syrup, stirring until the mixture is smooth and just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Once the mixture has cooled, pour it into a mixing bowl and stir in the crumbled bacon. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.

After the mixture has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for an additional 2 hours to firm up.

Serve the crispy bacon and maple syrup ice cream in bowls or cones, garnished with extra crumbled bacon if desired. The combination of salty bacon and sweet maple syrup creates a decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 700g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 175g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One clever tip to enhance this dish is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the ice cream just before serving. The salt will heighten the flavors and provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the maple syrup.

I hope you give this crispy bacon and maple syrup ice cream a try and enjoy the unique blend of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or mix-ins to make it your own!
