emkay64 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Pecan-Brown Sugar & Bacon Ice Cream Makes 1 1/2 quarts Maple-cured or applewood-smoked bacon seem to be ideal choices here. 3 cups heavy cream 1 cup milk 1 1/4 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar 4 egg yolks 1 cup chopped pecans 1 pound bacon, cooked until very crisp, blotted on paper towels and finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) 1. Combine the cream, milk, and sugar in a heavy saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until hot and the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. 2. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the hot cream-milk mixture. Return the yolk mixture to the saucepan, beating constantly. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon, 6-8 minutes. Do not let it boil. 3. Strain the mixture into a clean bowl and let it cool completely. Stir in pecans and bacon and freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. To showcase the ice cream's flavor, before serving, remove from freezer and let it soften slightly.

RegisteredAndEducated Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 That does sound icky. I would try it though. With turkey bacon though, I don't like eating swine:p turkey bacon is not really bacon. pork is the only real bacon Quote Intelligent people think... how ignorance must be bliss.... idiots have it so easy, it's not fair... to have to think... WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE AMONG THOSE FORTUNATE MASSES..... Hey, "Non-believers" I've just got one thing to say to ya... If you're right, then what difference does it make, it wont matter when we're dead anyway... But if I'm right... Well, hey... Ya better be right...
