Ingredients:

  • 5 slices bacon
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup splenda granular
  • 2 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 2 tsp dark rum
  • 1/4 tsp maple extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
  2. Lay the strips of bacon on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, shiny side down.
  3. Once crisp and cool, chop into little pieces, about the size of grains of rice. (Bacon bits can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for a day or so, or stored in the freezer a few weeks ahead.).
  4. To make the ice cream custard, melt the butter in a heavy, medium-size saucepan.
  5. Stir in the Splenda and half of the heavy cream.
  6. Pour the remaining heavy cream into a bowl set in an ice bath and set a mesh strainer over the top.
  7. In a separate bowl, stir together the egg yolks, then gradually add some of the warm Splenda mixture to them, whisking the yolks constantly as you pour.
  8. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
  9. Cook over low to moderate heat, constantly stirring and scraping the bottom with a heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the spatula.
  10. Strain the custard into the cold heavy cream, stirring over the ice bath, until cool.
  11. Add liquor, vanilla and cinnamon, if using.
  12. Refrigerate the mixture.
  13. Once thoroughly chilled, freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  14. Add the bacon bits during the last moment of churning, or stir them in when you remove the ice cream from the machine.
