To prepare a waffles and bacon frozen custard recipe, first you need to prepare the ingredients. First, you'll need: 1 cup (240 milliliters) of heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream) 2 tablespoons of butter (optional) 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of salt 2 tbsp. of chopped scallions, chopped or diced 14 cup of thyme 2 cups of frozen peas or lentils 1 pound of bacon, cut into 1/4-inch slices 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Pour the milk, butter, and vanilla into the saucepan. Bring the mixture over medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the egg yolks. Whisk the eggs and milk together until they're fully incorporated. Add the peeled and chopped bacon and mix well. Slowly add the beaten egg mixture to the hot milk mixture, whisking well after each addition. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans, if desired. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
