Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup heavy cream
  2. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  3. 1/2 cup erythritol
  4. 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  5. 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  6. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  7. 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, almond milk, and erythritol. Heat over medium-low temperature, whisking continuously until erythritol completely dissolves and mixture is smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Stir in vanilla extract and salt, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
  3. While base mixture cools, crisp chopped bacon in a skillet until extra crunchy. Drain on paper towels and let cool completely.
  4. Pour cooled cream mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes until mixture reaches soft-serve consistency.
  5. During last 5 minutes of churning, gradually add sugar-free chocolate chips and half of the crispy bacon pieces.
  6. Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Sprinkle remaining bacon pieces on top for additional texture and garnish.
  7. Freeze for minimum 2-3 hours to allow ice cream to fully set and develop rich flavors.
  8. Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Tips

  1. Use a high-quality ice cream maker for the smoothest texture possible. The more consistent the churning, the creamier your result.
  2. Ensure your bacon is extra crispy and well-drained to prevent soggy pieces in the ice cream. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  3. Freeze your ice cream maker's bowl overnight for optimal churning performance.
  4. For an even more intense flavor, slightly brown the bacon before chopping for a deeper, caramelized taste.
  5. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use the "no-churn" method by whipping the cream and freezing in intervals, stirring every hour.
  6. Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming and maintain its creamy texture.
  7. For best scooping, always let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes before serving.
