Bacon & vanilla ice cream

  1. Brown bacon in a heated ungreased skillet. Set aside. Discard fat.

  3. In a saucepan, bring cream, milk and a pinch of salt to a boil.
  4. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, then add sugar and vanilla bean scrapings. Whisk for at least 2 minutes, which is the time required to blanch the egg yolks.
  5. Gradually whisk in one third of the boiling liquid to the blanched eggs and return mixture to saucepan.
  6. Cook cream over low heat while stirring constantly with a spatula. Remove custard from heat as soon as it reaches approximately 180°F (82°C) . At this point, the thin foam film that formed should disappear and take on a creamy texture.
