It's Bacon-tastic!

Ever heard of Burger King’s Bacon Sundae dessert as part of their Summer Menu last year? Well, there have been reviews regarding this dessert and the critics had very mixed reactions. Seeing as that the Philippines didn’t have a Burger King branch last year, we were unable to taste their dish and make reviews ourselves. Well that and the fact that it was only available for a limited time and having it shipped would have just been plain stupid.


As I read about this dessert on the Internet, I wondered how on earth something like bacon could possibly mix with ice cream. I like bacon and I like ice cream but even I have never had the guts to mix those two together. I’m weird but this is just too much right? So I decided to make a small serving and throw the rest out if it sucked.  But somehow I was surprised that even someone like me, who can’t even cook an omelet right, was able to whip up a yummy dessert.

My homemade version of this dessert was using soft-served vanilla ice cream, chocolate fudge syrup, and a few strips of crispy fried bacon.  I was able to create a dessert that was more or less edible and delicious. Well, maybe it was nothing like the sundae from Burger King but it definitely fit my standards of a weird yet delicious dessert.



The saltiness of the bacon was a nice contrast to the sweetness of the ice cream. The flavors blended well together especially when the crispy bacon was coated in chocolate fudge syrup. The sweetness and saltiness was simple heavenly. You can feel the crispiness of the bacon as it breaks off into chunks while you chew it slowly. Savor the rich taste of the bacon as it mixes with the ice cream and you’ll find yourself wanting for more. So if you’re a bacon lover, throw a chef’s hat on and waddle into the kitchen for a bacon-filled dessert.
