Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are chilled, especially the heavy cream, to help achieve the best whipping results.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whipping using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Gently stir until well blended.
- Carefully fold the maple syrup mixture into the whipped cream, using a spatula and maintaining the cream's light and airy texture. Mix until completely incorporated.
- Gently fold in about 3/4 of the crumbled bacon, reserving some for topping.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, preferably a loaf pan or rectangular dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining bacon crumbles on top of the mixture.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or lid, ensuring it's airtight.
- Place in the freezer and allow to set for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the best results, ensure that your heavy cream and mixing bowls are chilled. This helps the cream whip up to its full potential, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Whip to Stiff Peaks: When whipping the cream, keep an eye on the texture. You want to achieve stiff peaks, which typically takes about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed. This is crucial for the ice cream's creamy consistency.
- Gentle Folding: When combining the whipped cream with the maple syrup mixture, use a spatula to gently fold them together. This technique helps maintain the airiness of the whipped cream, ensuring your ice cream stays light and fluffy.
- Bacon Balance: For the best flavor, make sure to crumble the bacon into small bits. This allows the savory taste to be evenly distributed throughout the ice cream. Reserve some crumbles for topping to add an extra crunch!
- Freezing Time: Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight is even better. This gives the flavors time to meld and ensures a firmer texture.
- Scoop with Ease: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This softens it slightly, making it easier to scoop and serve.
