Ingredients

MAPLE BACON CAKE POPS
6 Oz. Burgers’ Smokehouse Country Bacon
5 large Eggs, seperated
1/4 cup Maple Syrup (recipe here)
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/4 Cup NOW Erythritol
1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia
1 cup Honeyville Almond Flour
2 tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder
1 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tbsp. Butter
1/2 tsp. Cream of Tartar

SALTED CARAMEL GLAZE
5 tbsp. Butter
5 tbsp. Heavy Cream
2 1/2 tbsp. Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel

Instructions

1. Slice 6 Oz. Burgers’ Smokehouse Country Bacon into small bite size chunks. Either freezing the bacon for 30 minutes prior, or using scissors normally helps with this process.
2. Heat a pan to medium-high heat and cook the bacon until crisp.
3. Once crisp, remove the bacon from the pan and allow to dry on paper towels. Save excess bacon grease to saute vegetables or other meats in it.
4. Preheat oven to 325F. In 2 separate bowls, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites of 5 large eggs.
5. In the bowl with the egg yolks, add 1/4 cup maple syrup (recipe here), 1/4 cup erythritol, 1/4 tsp. liquid stevia, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract.
6. Using a hand mixer, mix this together for about 2 minutes. The egg yolks should become lighter in color.
7. Add 1 cup Honeyville almond flour, 2 tbsp. psyllium husk powder, 2 tbsp. butter, and 1 tsp. baking powder.
8. Mix this again until a thick batter forms.
9. Wash off the whisks of the hand mixer in the sink to make sure all traces of fats are washed off of the whisks.
10. Add 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar to the egg whites.
11. Whisk the egg whites using a hand mixer until solid peaks form.
12. Add 2/3 crisped bacon into the cake pop batter.
13. Add about 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter and aggressively mix together
14. The batter should be much less dry now. Add the rest of the egg whites and gently fold them in to the batter.
15. The result should be a light and airy batter.
16. Spoon mixture into a greased cake pop pan (I use this one from Nordic Ware), filling with a mound of batter that rises above the mold. Place the lid on top and bake for 20-25 minutes. You can either make 24 more cake pops, or make cupcakes with the remaining batter (same cook time, yields about 7 cupcakes).
17. Once finished, remove the cake pops and let cool.
18. As the cake pops are cooling, we need to make the sauce. You can either make this in 3 batches (as you will the cake pops) or you can make it into 1 large batch. I choose to do it 3 times. Add butter to the pan over medium-low heat and cook.
19. Cook the butter until it’s browned and the bubbling stops.
20. Add heavy cream and sugar free torani salted caramel syrup to the pan. The cream should bubble right away.
21. Mix everything together and continue to cook it while letting it reduce some. Once you can pull your spoon through the mixture and it slowly comes back together, that’s when it’s ready.
22. Poke lollipop sticks through the cake pops and dip into caramel sauce.
23. Arrange cake pops into an egg carton and sprinkle with a few small pieces of bacon. Refrigerate for 20-40 minutes (or longer, if you need to).
24. Enjoy!
