Homemade bacon milkshake
Serves 2

4-6 pieces of bacon (depending on your bacon threshold), cooked

 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted

 6-7 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream

 1/8 cup maple syrup

 1/2 cup milk

1. Cook bacon in a frying pan on the stove top until good and crispy. Drain on a paper-towel covered plate and allow to cool. In a clean pan or a toaster oven, toast the walnuts.

2. In a food processor, grind the bacon and walnuts together until fine.

3. In a blender, combine bacon, walnuts, ice cream, maple syrup, and milk and blend until smooth. You may want to adjust the milk and/or ice cream to satisfy your shake-thickness preference.

4. Divide into two tall glasses, insert a straw into each glass, and serve immediately.
