Oh my word! This ice cream is amazing! If you adore
ice cream like I do, you must try this recipe. If you
don’t have maple extract, you can substitute the seeds
scraped from 1 vanilla bean (about 8 inches long), or 1
teaspoon vanilla extract. Vanilla and bacon isn’t quite
as delicious as maple and bacon, but it’s not too
shabby!

12 strips bacon
¾ cup (1½ sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
(or coconut oil if dairy-sensitive)
½ cup unsweetened cashew milk, almond milk, or
water
¼ cup MCT oil (creates a smooth ice cream)
4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
¼ cup Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or
equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener
(see here)
2 teaspoons maple extract
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt (keeps the ice cream soft)
