Ingredients

Banana Ice Cream

  • 3 bananas frozen, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Salted Bacon Fudge Sauce

  • 1/4 cup 70% or higher dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons bacon fat
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Ice Cream

  1. In a food processor, combine all ingredients for the ice cream. Pulse a few times then allow to blend until smooth. You may need to stop the processor and push down the ice cream around the edges a few times as well.

Sauce

  1. In a double-boiler (a small bowl set over a small pot with few inches of water boiling but not touching the bottom of the bowl), melt the chocolate while stirring gently.
  2. Once melted, add the rest of the ingredients and continue stirring until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  3. Allow to cool for a minute or so while plating (or... or bowling, really) your ice cream. Generously pour the salted fudge sauce over each bowlful. And of course, crumbled crispy bacon bits and banana chips are utterly implied as toppings for this dessert. Who do you think I am? Serves 2. Make it romantic.
