Ice cream is very unusual - new sensations are impressive. And this is a real dessert: both sweet and delicious!

How to cook Creamy ice cream with caramelized bacon

Step 1

Let's tackle the bacon first.

Step 2

Put the slices on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, sprinkle with sugar and cook for 7 minutes at 200 *. Flip to the other side and cook for another 7 minutes, until the bacon is caramelized and crispy.

Step 3

Let it cool on a wire rack, make crumbs from half of the bacon. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the sugar and half the cream - stir until the sugar dissolves. We put a bowl of ice on the table, in which we place another bowl with the remaining half of the cream.

Step 4

Beat the yolks and, without ceasing to beat, add the creamy mixture from the saucepan. Return the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring all the time until thickened. The mixture is ready when it slowly slides off the spoon. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into cold cream, mix.

Step 5

Add bacon crumbs, alcohol and cinnamon. Cool, then prepare ice cream in an ice cream maker or put in the freezer for 3 hours. Serve sprinkled with remaining bacon

Creamy ice cream with caramelized bacon - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon for a lighter version?

Yes, turkey bacon can be used, but it may not caramelize as well due to lower fat content. Increase sugar slightly and monitor closely to avoid burning.

How long can I store this ice cream in the freezer?

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Is there a vegetarian alternative to bacon in this recipe?

Try coconut flakes or smoked almonds for a similar crunchy, savory-sweet element. Toast with sugar as you would bacon.

Can I make this without an ice cream maker?

Absolutely! Freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes for 3 hours to prevent ice crystals.

What alcohol works best in this recipe?

Bourbon, rum, or maple-flavored liqueur complement the caramelized bacon. Use 1–2 tbsp, or omit for alcohol-free.

How can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use vegan butter. Note: the texture may be slightly less creamy.

Can I skip the cinnamon or replace it with another spice?

Yes! Nutmeg, cardamom, or a pinch of cayenne would work well. Adjust to taste.

What’s the best way to serve this ice cream for a party?

Pre-scoop into chilled glasses or cones, then top with extra bacon crumbles and a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.

Why strain the custard mixture?

Straining ensures a silky texture by removing any cooked egg bits. Don’t skip this step for premium results.
