Description
Creamy, custardy French toast made with just ice cream and thick-cut bread, yielding golden edges and a pillowy center in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream, fully softened
- 6 slices thick-cut brioche or challah
Instructions
- Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it.
- Combine the softened ice cream in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth and custard-like.
- Prepare your cooking vessel by ensuring the surface is evenly heated and lightly greased.
- Assemble the dish by dipping each bread slice into the melted ice cream custard, coating both sides and allowing excess to drip off.
- Cook to perfection by placing slices on the skillet and cooking 2 to 3 minutes per side until deeply golden.
- Finish by transferring cooked slices to a plate to set for 1 minute.
- Serve and enjoy with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for best structure and soak without sogginess.
- Keep heat at medium-low for a custardy center and caramelized exterior.
- Flavor twist: swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate, strawberry, or caramel.
- To keep batches warm, hold finished slices in a low oven.
