Bacon brûlée - this may be fun

[Selta]

So, I just put this into the waterbath in the oven to bake. It'll be done in about 20 minutes or so, then needs to cool for a few hours.
Basically, I'm doing a variation on crème brûlée. While making the milk/cream mixture, I infused bacon flavor. I bought some smoked bacon, crisped it up nice, made it into about 1/4" chunks, and then simmered it in the milk/cream for 15 minutes. Filter out the chunks, and then just follow any normal crème brûlée recipe. I don't know how I'm going to handle the torched top, yet. I was either thinking of putting the bacon chunks back on, and then torching turbinado sugar on top, or just making a layer of bacon on top.

I'll certainly post results when I get around to eating it. It'll be a few hours, but I figured the TB OT bacon crew would like to hear about this.

I'm impressed with the right accents at the right places.

Tu parles français ?

I have it on good authority that cheesecake with real bacon crumbled on top is the ultimate dessert...

Je me demandais la même chose!

Ok, so yeah, no pictures, sorry.
Overall though, it was a success. I do need to modify the recipe a little bit I think though, as it was just missing "something". Still very good and very edible, just needs some help.

And no, I don't speak, read, or write a lick of French at all. I do usually know where to put accents on food stuffs though, and it's a minor pet peeve of mine when people don't put them on

Dude, just candy the bacon and garnish with it.

I once tried to make a hot mustard brulee to go with some white-tail sausage we made. I've still got to work on it though.

OH! Candied bacon! Wonderful idea. I shall do that next time for sure. Thanks for the obvious tip

Crème brûlée with candied bacon? This deserves a name of its own!

A shiny pig?
