MAPLE WALNUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pour cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the bowl. Whisk egg yolks together in a separate bowl.
• Heat milk, sugar, and corn syrup together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until milk begins to steam, about 5 minutes. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup heated milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Scrape egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with a heatproof spatula.
• Cook and stir milk mixture constantly with the spatula, scraping the bottom of the saucepan often, until mixture thickens and coats the spatula, about 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; pour mixture through the mesh strainer into the cream.
• Stir 3/4 cup maple syrup, coarse salt, and vanilla into cream mixture, then place the bowl over a larger bowl of ice water; stir to cool to room temperature. Chill mixture in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.
• Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 15 minutes. Set nuts aside to cool to room temperature. Chop nuts coarsely.
• Heat the 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. Stir in walnuts, and return to a boil. Stir nuts for 10 seconds, remove from heat; set aside to cool completely. The nuts will be wet and sticky when cooled.
• Remove cream mixture from the refrigerator, pour into your ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, stir in wet walnuts.

ICE CREAM SUNDAES WITH MAPLE BUTTER RUM SAUCE AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• In a small heavy-bottomed pot, over medium-low heat, stir together 1/2 cup of the maple syrup, the brown sugar, cream, butter, rum and salt. Cook, stirring constantly and scraping the sides and the bottom of the pan, until the sauce is thick and coats the back of the spoon, about 10 minutes. Pour into a heat-proof container and let cool a bit before making the sundaes.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining maple syrup with the nuts. Scoop the ice cream into dishes. Top with the warm sauce and maple nuts. Grate some of the chocolate over the top and serve with a dollop of crème fraîche and more chocolate shavings if you like.

DENNY'S BACON MAPLE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Cook the bacon very crisp. I prefer to bake bacon. Baking bacon means you have no grease splatter in your kitchen, and all pieces cook uniformly. If you have an ice cream sundae glass, place one scoop of ice cream in the bottom, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup in the glass. Then top with an additional scoop of ice cream, pour over remaining syrup, and top with crispy crumbled bacon.
• Now if you don't have a fancy sundae glass, you can just place two scoops of ice cream in a bowl, add the syrup and top with crisp crumbled bacon.
• I do have a couple of notes about this ice cream sundae, I was really prepared not to like it. I did like it though, we have been placing sweet syrups over our ice cream forever, and salt and sweet go together. I will say that in playing around with this recipe, using a butter pecan syrup instead of maple flavored syrup makes it taste so good, better in my opinion.
