Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the almond milk, protein powder, sugar substitute, maple syrup, maple bacon extract, and guar gum into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.

Process the Ice Cream

After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream, respin without adding liquid. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
Dig a well down the center of the ice cream and pour in the chopped pieces of bacon and chocolate chips. Process on mix-ins. Drizzle with maple syrup on the top.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Can precooked bacon or bacon bits be used in this recipe instead of freshly cooked bacon?

Sure. You can use whatever kind of bacon you want. You could even use turkey bacon. As long as you like the flavor and the texture of the bacon or bacon bits before adding it to the ice cream, it should work!

Compared to other recipes, this one is much higher in calories and sugar. Why?

Well, the name says it all. Bacon and maple syrup are high in calories and sugar. To reduce the sugar and calories in this recipe, reduce the amounts of both and look for low sugar maple syrup.
