Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, reduce the maple syrup to 1/2 cup. Set aside.
- Over moderate heat in a medium saucepan, heat the half-and-half with 1/2 cup sugar until hot and just bubbling around the edges.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the yolks with 1/2 cup sugar, then add 1 cup hot half-and-half mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Pour the whole egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture coats the back of the spoon and registers 170 degrees F on a thermometer. Do not let boil. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl and whisk in the maple syrup. Cover with parchment paper letting the paper touch the surface of the mixture, to prevent a skin from forming. Chill the mixture until very cold, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a rimmed sheet pan with heavy foil. Place a baking rack over the lined sheet pan and arrange the bacon slices across the rack next to each other. Bake until crispy, about 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, finely chop.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring with a fork, until the sugar starts to melt. Stop stirring and cook until the sugar is a golden caramel color, about 10 minutes. Add the bacon and stir to coat. Pour onto prepared baking sheet and let harden. Chop the candied bacon into small pieces.
- Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, 20 to 30 minutes and at the last minute, add the candied bacon and let churn until just combined. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze.
- BYOC: Try adding some cayenne pepper to your chopped bacon before you stir it into the melted sugar.
- Special equipment: candy thermometer, ice cream maker.
BACON MAPLE ICE CREAM
I got the idea from watching Iron Chef America. Someone made a bacon ice cream but I never heard any details about it. So I started thinking about how to make it and make it great. I figured that bacon is the candy of the meat world, so why not candy the bacon. Now the quality of the maple syrup is gonna effect the flavor of the ice cream. This may sound odd, but I promise you that this will become your new favorite and you'll be demanding that Ben & Jerry's starts selling this at your corner store. cooking time includes cooling time, and set up time in the freezer.

Spoon into a 1-litre freezer-proof container and freeze for about 3 hrs, until softly frozen. This mix won't crystallise at the edges like most ice creams.
- Working quickly, ruffle up the mix, pour over the syrup and the crushed caramels, then give another quick swirl. Freeze for another 4 hrs or ideally overnight until firm. Will freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Whisk 1/2 cup maple syrup and egg yolks together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Tips for Making Maple Bacon Crunch Ice Cream
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the ice cream will be. Look for pure maple syrup, thick-cut bacon, and fresh cream.
- Don't overcook the bacon. Bacon should be cooked until it is crispy, but not burnt. Overcooked bacon will make the ice cream bitter.
- Let the ice cream base chill before churning. This will help the ice cream to churn more smoothly and produce a creamier texture.
- Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy. Don't over-churn the ice cream, or it will become icy.
- Fold in the maple bacon crunch just before the ice cream is finished churning. This will prevent the crunch from becoming soggy.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
