Decadent gluten-free custard with brown butter, maple syrup, and candied bacon.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon flax seed meal
  • 16 fluid ounces half-and-half
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1.5 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
  • In a pot over medium heat, melt butter until mostly melted, for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in flax meal and cinnamon; continue cooking and stirring until the butter turns a deep toasty brown, around 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the browned butter to a large heat-resistant bowl.
  • In a pot over medium-high heat, combine half-and-half, milk, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Before it boils, take out 1/4 cup of the mixture and whisk it with egg yolks in a separate bowl, repeating this process 3 or 4 times until the egg mixture expands. Combine the egg mixture into the milk mixture and simmer until the custard thickens, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Strain custard into bowl with browned butter, stirring until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours to overnight until fully chilled.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), then prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and placing a wire rack on top.
  • Combine brown sugar and maple syrup in a small bowl.
  • Arrange the bacon on the wire rack set over the baking sheet.
  • Start by baking the bacon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, flip the bacon and cook until about 2/3 cooked, for another 5 to 10 minutes. Next, flip the bacon again and baste the tops with the brown sugar-syrup mixture before baking for 5 minutes. Repeat this step for the other side of the bacon until it is crisp and the coating has candied, usually taking another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • After turning off the oven, generously sprinkle sea salt over both sides of the bacon and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Proceed to chop the seasoned bacon into bite-size pieces.
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and delicately drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons of rich maple syrup in dime-size drops across the paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until the drops are bubbling and their height is less than half of their original size. Allow to cool on the baking sheet until firm but slightly tacky.
  • Mix the chilled custard and transfer it into the ice cream maker to start churning. Gradually sprinkle in bacon bits while churning midway. When the custard begins to thicken, carefully add the syrup drops one or two at a time for even distribution. Keep churning until the custard is thick. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze until set, for 2 to 4 hours.
