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.

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.
Try coconut flakes or smoked almonds for a similar crunchy, savory-sweet element. Toast with sugar as you would bacon.
Absolutely! Freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes for 3 hours to prevent ice crystals.
Bourbon, rum, or maple-flavored liqueur complement the caramelized bacon. Use 1–2 tbsp, or omit for alcohol-free.
