For a smoky twist, use applewood smoked bacon. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; bake the bacon in batches if necessary. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can try the 'no-churn' method: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming. Consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum extract for extra depth of flavor.
