This recipe takes the classic flavors of breakfast and turns them into a decadent dessert that will have your taste buds singing. The crispiness of the bacon pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the waffles and the creaminess of the custard, creating a truly indulgent treat.

Ingredients

  • 8 strips of bacon
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 waffles, broken into small pieces

Directions

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until it begins to steam.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until thick and pale. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the custard into a bowl set over an ice bath to cool, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the custard is cool, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  7. During the last few minutes of churning, add in the bacon pieces and waffle bits.
  8. Transfer the frozen custard to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
