Veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough wrote À LA MODE, a book of dessert and frozen treat pairings: one hundred and twenty recipes with sixty desserts paired with sixty ice creams, sherbets, sorbets, and other frozen concoctions.

In this episode, they're making a recipe from that book: Malt Frozen Custard. As you may know, Bruce is the chef in our duo; Mark, the writer. Mark doesn't cook much anymore. He's too busy editing and creating our cookbooks. But in this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK, he takes on the challenge of malt frozen custard, a perfect cold treat for anyone who loves that nutty, savory flavor of malt. It's like a scoop-able vanilla malt.

Bruce & Mark also talk about their favorite pairing for this dessert. Hint: It involves bacon. Of course!
