Bacon Dippin Dots- Ice Cream of the Future

Step 2: Make the Bacon Ice Cream Base

To make the bacon ice cream base, combine the heavy cream and half & half in a large pot. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.  Once mixture begins to simmer, turn heat to low.

Next, whisk eggs, sugar & salt in a bowl. Then gently whisk in 1/4 cup bacon syrup. Whisk 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the bacon/egg yolk mixture.Repeat three times, whisking in 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture each time. Next, return mixture to the pot with the remaining hot cream and raise the heat to medium low. Stir frequently for 5 minutes or until the hot cream mixture coats the back of a spoon. Strain mixture into a bowl and set aside for 20 minutes.
