The dessert above is, as the title of this blog entry suggests, a savory concoction known as Candied Bacon Ice Cream. The treat is the work of author David Lebowitz (The Perfect Scoop), who concocted the frozen feast using light brown sugar, cinnamon and lots of bacon (recipe here). The combination of everyone’s favorite early morning snack and everyone’s favorite late night indulgence seems like a match made in heaven, which begs the obvious question: Would you eat it?
Later this month, we’ll be kicking off our annual holiday celebration, the 12 Days of Ice Cream. To recap for some of our new readers, the 12 Days of Ice Cream features a new blog entry every day for 12 days leading up to Christmas. What makes it fun is that each blog entry will feature an ice cream related prize, which will be given away to one commenter chosen at random from that entry. So basically, you have a chance to win a fun prize every day!
This year, we thought long and hard about what sort of prizes to give away, and we settled on gifts chosen from the popular website, Etsy. For those not familiar, Etsy is a cool website that features handmade and homemade crafts and artwork. People can create anything they want, and open a “store” on Etsy to sell their creative handiwork.
This year’s ice cream prizes are truly fun and creative. They include everything from a handmade ice cream pillow to a hand-knitted cozy sleeve to put around your pint of Turkey Hill ice cream while you’re eating it!
The first 12 Days of Ice Cream entry will be posted on December 14 and will conclude on December 25. But before the celebration begins, we’ll be posting our four finalist recipes in this year’s Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest. Look for those entries next week and a poll on Friday to vote for your favorite.
