Crisped bacon glazed with brown sugar and maple syrup adds a savory-sweet bite that plays against the cream, for anyone who wants something bolder than another cookie mix-in. Perfect for your Ninja Creami or any ice cream maker. A customer creation from David Marrione.
2 scoops of CRUSHS Cookies and Cream mix
Milk: 10-12 oz
Candied bacon, chopped: 20g (~2 Tbsp)
For the candied bacon: cook 2 strips of bacon until crisp, toss in 1 Tbsp brown sugar and 1 tsp maple syrup while still hot, then let cool and harden before chopping
Add 2 scoops of CRUSHS and your milk to the pint
Blend well and freeze for 24 hours
Spin on Lite Ice Cream mode
Make a small divot in the center and add a splash of milk (1-2 oz)
Add your chopped candied bacon
Respin using the Mix-In button
Enjoy!
For the Deluxe Creami, increase all ingredients by 50%
Blend 2 scoops of CRUSHS with 10 oz milk until smooth
Cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours to thicken (overnight is even better)
Pour into your ice cream maker and churn for 10-20 minutes
In the last minute of churning, add the chopped candied bacon
Serve immediately or freeze for 5-15 minutes for a firmer texture
For 1-quart machines, double all amounts
Let the candied bacon cool completely and harden on a sheet of parchment before chopping. Warm bacon is chewy and won't give you the crisp bite you're after.

CRUSHS is good on its own, but when you add fun stuff it takes it to the next level. Mix-ins generally work best with a Creami. Most of the time you'll want to add them after the first spin. Make a little divot in the center of your pint, drop your stuff in along with a splash of milk, then hit the Mix-In button. You've now turned your base into something special. Don't be afraid to experiment!
Either works, but for the best texture, add heavier or delicate mix-ins (like sauces, peanut butter, cookies) after your first spin. Then, add your mix-ins along with a splash of milk and hit the Mix-In button.
No. Our amounts are a guide. Feel free to add more or less depending on how you like your pint.
Frozen fruits, crunchy textures (like crushed cookies, nuts), and creamy swirls (like peanut butter or caramel) all work great. Frozen fruits work best for texture. Add softer swirls after spinning. Adjust everything to your taste.
