Bacon

I feel that the baking world has become obsessed with bacon. I am included in this. I love it. I will eat it sweet or savory. In a float or on a boat. In a car or out of a jar! The best way to eat bacon, besides as is would be in ice cream!! If you make a basic chocolate ice cream recipe and as it is spinning in the last couple minutes you can add your mix in’s. Your “mix in’s” can be anything, cooked, rough chopped bacon, marshmallows, nuts, broken cookies, candy, chocolate chips the possibilities are endless. My favorite combination is bacon, homemade marshmallows and toasted spicy pecans in chocolate ice cream. Bacon Rocky Road.

Where I am working currently we do not make our own ice cream. We do make a lot of cookies and bars though. So tomorrow I am going to be making Bacon Bourbon Pecan Brownies

I am so excited!

Fall.

Maine does Fall right! I lived in San Francisco for a few years and Fall there was very commercial and fake. Then there was the rest of the year which just felt like Fall without any of the perks. The leaves are changing, I can wear cute boots everywhere! And my favorite, dessert favors turn savory.

Today I made a Sweet Potato Coconut Cheesecake! I highly recommend trying this!
Sweet Potato Coconut Cheesecake

I did a basic graham cracker crust and baked it at 350 for 6 minutes. I also didn’t have ricotta so I used sour cream instead. In the photo for this cheesecake you will see that the center has sunk, if you wrap your springform pan tightly in foil then bake it in a water bath at 350 for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until it sets, barely jiggles, then turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake in there for 1 hour then refrigerate overnight. Then your top should be flat and baked evenly.

Wow that was a lot. I swear it is easier then it sounds!!
