Let’s have a little chat about one word today. 

Dedication. /?dedi?k?SH?n/ noun – the quality of being committed to a task or purpose. 

Oh man, let me tell you. It took a lot of dedication not to give up and just skip this recipe today. 

This recipe you see right here, this glorious stack of bacon, maple, bourbon and brown sugar goodness in front of you broke my freezer and almost me for a couple of hours this past weekend. 

It was not fun I tell you. 

A major breakdown happened and I’m not just talking about the freezer.  Panic tends to seep in when your ice cream begins to melt when it should be freezing and you realize you also have a freezer full of meat that you’d prefer not to cook in one sitting.

The good news is I did not give up! 

I managed to salvage all the melted ice cream, rearranged the freezer so things were stacked so high (my reasoning for why the temperature was rising, maybe? possibly?) and left things for the night to cool down.  

As I woke the next morning the first thing I did was run to the freezer and take the temperature – yes folks it is important to have a device around that lets you take the temperature of your fridge and freezer, that’s how we keep our food safe.  Happy to see that it was no longer sitting at 29 degrees but down to 15 and the ice cream was solid again! Not exactly at zero like it should be but no longer broken!

A quick assembly and a very quick photo shoot, these guys were done.  I was not risking a refreeze again, but whew can we say high stakes for some ice cream?

    Ermagaaaawd staaaaaahp it! You are killing me with all the amazing ice cream recipes this week, Susan! Now I want to run to the nearest grocery store freezer and gorge myself on the cold creamy stuff. Although none of it will taste as good as these glorious maple bacon bourbon brown sugar ice cream cookies (whew, that’s a delicious mouthful). I’m sorry to hear about the freezer situation. I would’ve been losing my mind. Glad to hear everything worked out and you won’t be getting salmonella/ecoli from partially frozen meat!
