Maple Bacon Ice Cream

Yes my friends you read that right, I present to you maple bacon ice cream. Think about this gentlemen, have you ever noticed they sell sweet and salty snack on every shelf in the junk food aisle. That’s cause God got tired of not accepting people into heaven that he sent this little bit of awesome down to show us what we have been missing out on. Anyways this dish is perfect for a movie night. Let me set up the scene brah: popcorn is hot and greasy so she will be in no mood to cuddle after Orville Redenbacher gets his oily love butter everywhere, candy is nice only if its chocolate and most likely when she is done inhaling chocolate she will be in no sexy mood. This sweet, salty, pork infused desert has the kick of popcorn and the pleasantries of candy without being greasy (Bonus: it’s cold, so do the math space heater).

So lets get into what you need:

Serves: 4-6 people

Candied Bacon:

5-6 strips of cold bacon (thick cut is good for texture)

4 tablespoons of brown sugar

(optional but delicious) good pinch of black pepper

Maple Ice Cream:

Take your favorite vanilla bean ice cream and soften it in a big enough bowl One shot of brandy (spiced rum, or bourbon is good)

½ cup of maple syrup (REAL MAPLE SYRUP)

Note: I make my own ice cream but this is for everyday men so if you want to know how to make it from scratch email me. Beware you will need a ice cream maker or an old fashion churner.

Directions:

Take bacon while still cold so it’s easy to cut and dice into moderate bits. Cook on medium-high heat in a skillet for 5-6 minutes. Before its done add brown sugar, optional pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes or before sugar burns. Set aside on a plate when done. Now like I said I make my own ice cream but for this you can use semi-soften vanilla bean ice cream. Take ice cream in bowl and add shot of brandy, and maple syrup. Mix together till ingredients are thoroughly applied and then add bacon then repeat with the mixing. Put back into freezer till ready to serve.

If you did this right you should be sitting next to a cold woman in need of snuggling or whatever you crazy kids are into.
