Maple Ice Cream with Bacon Crumble

That is it. Five simple ingredients. Five ingredients that will really blow your mind. Not kidding.

These ingredients are to be used with an ice cream maker, that is all that I know. I have never attempted to mix the ingredients and simply place them in the freezer. A goal to making any ice cream with the ice cream maker is to make sure everything is very cold, and make sure your bowl is frozen.

So, to a mixing bowl, add the cream, milk, salt, extract, and the syrup. Mix well. Assemble your ice cream maker, and pour this into the ice cream bowl, mixing for about 25 minutes.

During this time, cook your bacon. Once cooked, drain, and crumble.

Serve by scooping ice cream into your serving bowl, drizzle a bit of maple syrup, and top with some crumbled bacon.

The result is something out of this world, and in my opinion, this is what that sweet and salty should taste like. That, and a bit of smokiness from the bacon, just escalated this bowl of ice cream to the top of my list. Hope you enjoy.

Makes about 1.5 quarts.
