This recipe was surprisingly tasty. I found it on the internet and I decided to try it. My chef was very skeptical about it because cold bacon is well, not that enjoyable. The ice cream was delicious and almost savory, which is what I was going for.

Ingredients

100g Buttered Popcorn

500ml Cream

100 g Bacon

400 ml Condensed milk

5 g brown sugar

Method

• Prepare the microwave popcorn
• Place the cream in a large mixing bowl. Add 3/4 of the popcorn to the cream
• Set aside in the fridge for 30 minutes
• Prepare the candied bacon by tossing the bacon in the brown sugar and then baking for 20 minutes at 200° Celsius turning over halfway through. Remove from the oven and cut into small pieces.
• Place a muslin-lined sieve over a bowl. Pour the cream and popcorn into the sieve
• Whip the cream until firm peaks form
• Stir in the condensed milk and the bacon and fold into the mixture till just combined.
