Ingredients

• 150 grams Brown bread (stale if available)
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 400 milliliters Heavy cream
• 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Tear or cut the brown bread into small crumbs. Use a food processor if needed to achieve uniform crumbs (but avoid turning it into fine powder).

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them for about 3-5 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 4

Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the breadcrumbs and cook while stirring constantly for another 2-3 minutes. The sugar should dissolve and coat the crumbs, resulting in a caramelized texture. Be careful not to burn the mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the caramelized breadcrumbs onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them out evenly. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Using an electric mixer or whisk, whip the mixture until it thickens and forms soft peaks. This will take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Fold in the cooled caramelized breadcrumbs gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cream mixture.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.

Step 9

Freeze for at least 6 hours or, preferably, overnight until firm.

Step 10

Serve scoops of the creamy brown bread ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy!
