Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette
• 3 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 3 scoops Vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar
• 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds, aiming for about 6 slices.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and brush it generously onto both sides of each baguette slice.

Step 4

Sprinkle sugar lightly onto one side of each slice for added sweetness and crispness.

Step 5

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Remove and let cool.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, basil, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze. Stir gently to mix and set aside.

Step 7

To assemble, place a baguette slice on a serving plate. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, then add another baguette slice on top like a sandwich.

Step 8

Drizzle each stack with the remaining balsamic glaze and the strawberry-basil mixture.

Step 9

Top with whipped cream and a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately as a playful and refreshing dessert!
