This recipe is bought to you, courtesy of [[:Category:Nik and Edwina's Cookbook recipes|Nik & Edwina's Cookbook]].  What a great fun idea.
 
It has also prompted me to create a [[:Category:Savoury ice-cream recipes|Savoury ice cream recipes category]], so thanks Nik!  I don't think that Nik's description can be bettered, so here it is:
 
"We pooled our [[Amazon]] tokens in Christmas 2011 and bought an [[Ice cream maker|ice cream maker]], and we’ve had great fun with it ever since (see also [[Rose Kulfi]] and [[Frozen Yoghurt with a Hint of Coconut]]).
 
One of the things we got to thinking about was how we could use it to make savoury [[Ice cream|ice cream]], basically a frozen [[Starter|starter]]. This is the result, a recipe we invented from scratch, a surprisingly lush, yet sophisticatedly flavoursome dish that ticks all sorts of boxes, not least the one that says ‘Carbonara as you've never tasted it’. It makes enough for 8 people, as that’s the minimum our ice [[Cream|cream]] maker will do, but of course you can just serve half of it for four diners and keep the rest in the [[Freezer|freezer]]."

This is the result, a recipe we invented from scratch, a surprisingly lush, yet sophisticatedly flavoursome dish that ticks all sorts of boxes, not least the one that says ‘Carbonara as you've never tasted it’.
