Brown Bread Ice Cream

This is also known as ‘poor man’s praline ice cream’ because it gives a similar texture but uses cheaper ingredients. This is a great way to use up brown soda or wholemeal yeast breadcrumbs that would otherwise be wasted.

Ingredients

  • Ballymaloe Vanilla Ice Cream (see recipe on ieFood)

  • 350g brown soda or wholemeal yeast breadcrumbs

  • 150g vanilla sugar

  • 150g soft dark-brown sugar

Method

  1. Make the Ballymaloe vanilla ice cream and freeze.

  2. Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas Mark 4.

  3. Spread the chunky breadcrumbs on a baking tray. Sprinkle with sugar and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Stir every four to five minutes until the sugar caramelises and coats the breadcrumbs. Turn out onto a Silpat mat and leave to cool. Pulse the caramelised breadcrumbs into small, chunky bits in a food-processor. When the ice cream is semi-frozen, fold in the mixture and freeze until fully frozen.
