Candied Maple Bacon Ice Cream

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Line a jellyroll pan with aluminum foil. Fit a baking rack on top of the pan, and coat it generously with cooking spray.
• Place eight strips of bacon onto the baking rack.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, maple syrup and spreadable butter together.
• Brush each bacon strip with the maple mixture, reserving half for each side. Bake for 12 minutes.
• Turn over and brush the remaining maple mixture on top of each strip.
• Return to the oven and bake an additional 12 minutes or until desired crispiness. Remove and let cool completely.
• Once cooled, transfer the bacon onto a plate or cutting board and chop into smaller bits, leaving a few larger pieces for garnish.
• Scoop the ice cream into a small bowl.
• Add the bits of bacon to the ice cream and gently fold together.
• Serve immediately in small bowls, and garnish with a large piece of bacon.
