Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 4 large egg yolks

Instructions

  1. 1In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

  5. 5Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and crumbled bacon.
  6. 6Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
