Brown Bread Ice Cream
Seriously…Do not be put off by the title. The brown bread is caramelised in sugar and cinnamon and has all the crunch, texture and flavour as honeycomb! My husband has never forgotten eating this ice cream over 30 years ago! Some recipes are memorable – and this is one of them.
Yes I thought it sounded a little odd myself at first but the flavour and the CRUNCH makes this worth waiting for!
