what do ya think should we try it?
Ingredients:
1 cup of whole milk
3 cups of heavy cream
¾ cup of sugar
4 egg yolks
1lb. of bacon
Brown sugar
Maple syrup or a bourbon whiskey. (Manbque prefers Makers Mark)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil,
liberally coat the bacon in brown sugar and cook for about 12 minutes.
2. Take bacon off baking sheet and place on a wire rack and let cool up to 1
hour. Once cool, chop into small pieces and set aside.
3. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the milk, cream, and sugar until
dissolved. Stir occasionally for 8 minutes, or until mixture is hot.
4. Pour the eggs in slowly, making sure to constantly whisk, so as not to
curdle the eggs.
5. Add the bacon and a tablespoon of whiskey or 2 tablespoons of maple
syrup.
6. Continually whisk for 10 minutes, or until you can coat the back of a
spoon.
7. Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. After 10
minutes, skim off the layer of fat that has accumulated.
8. Pour mixture into ice cream maker and follow the ice cream maker’s
instructions. (for faster results pre-cool the mixture: pour in a bowl and
place in the fridge for a few hours)
