Ice cream is a year-round dessert as far as we’re concerned. It’s not as intense as a decadent dessert, which makes it the perfect end to a meal…or the ultimate midday treat.
But if you’re a guy who likes his dessert to be sweet and savory, you might struggle to find something that fits the bill.
Chef and restaurateur Jeff Mahin has a treat that strikes the perfect balance. His brown butter ice cream with candied bacon is nutty, toasty, and absolutely irresistible. Best of all, it’s something you can make at home. Try the recipe for yourself.
