I know, I know…it’s Friday, but I’m declaring today Maple Bacon Sundae! Start the holiday off right with this great treat using Maple Caramelized Bacon one more time! I promise to move on after this. This sweet and savory bacon is ruining any attempt at sticking to anything resembling healthy eating! LOL Of course, I can’t promise future recipes won’t have bacon! What kind of world would that be? Sad…very, very sad!
4th of July is my official start to summer. And what says summer more than ice cream?
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Add some Maple Caramelized Bacon and people might not be screaming…they might just knock you down and take it away from you!
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
- Maple Caramelized Bacon crumbled
- Caramel Ice Cream Topping
Directions
Start with your favorite Vanilla Ice Cream. This is what I had in the freezer. Believe me, the fact that it was No Sugar Added didn’t matter one bit! Cuz I added plenty of sugary goodness to it. Oh yes I did!
For one serving, use 2 scoops. Not that I’ll EVER make just one serving again!
Let the ice cream soften and give it a quick stir.
Add a tablespoon of Maple Syrup.
Swirl it around, but don’t mix completely.
Pop the bowl back into the freezer…
And go make some Maple Caramelized Bacon!
This time I added about a teaspoon of cinnamon to the brown sugar and it was yummy!
I cooked it a bit longer so it was extra crispy. Then cut it up with my kitchen shears. Way easier than using a knife!
Now comes a happy accident! As I stood looking at the pan the bacon had cooked in, it appeared that there was quite a bit of caramel-ish toffee in the pan. So I drained off most of the bacon grease and tasted what was left. Mmmmmm…WHAM inspiration hits! Why not fold that into the ice cream???? Huh, WHY NOT? So I did. It promptly hardened into a solid lump. Ooops! What have I done? Should I fish it out?
Nope! Just got those trusty kitchen shears back out and cut it all up into tiny,
little bits of crunchy, bacony, toffee goodness!
Then back into the freezer it went.
A few hours later, I popped it into my favorite sundae glass. A treasured gift from my Fat Bottomed Friend, Tee, which she gave me at least twenty years ago! I assure you, if you don’t have a sundae glass, your favorite ice cream bowl will work just fine.
Just look at all those tasty bits of toffee! Wow, am I glad that “accident” happened!
Add your favorite Caramel Ice Cream Topping.
Then top with the Caramelized Bacon bits.
Voila!
Right before your very eyes…It’s Magical!
I just turned Friday into Sundae!
And for my finale….the Disappearing Maple Bacon Ice Cream Sundae….
Poof!
Vanished !
Ta Daaaaaa!
From my Fat Bottomed Kitchen to yours,
The Great and Wondrous Fat Bottomed Bex wishes you all a safe and Happy 4th of July!

Yes, yes, I know I it’s Monday, and I promised you this over the weekend. (Picture me here, hanging my head in shame.) I am not yet in the groove with this whole homework thing! I did however manage to get that done on time, but I’m sad to say it was at your expense! So here’s a little sugar rush that’s super simple. Dare I offer it as a “study-aid?” LOL You decide. But I’ll bet if you try it, you’ll get an A Plus!
