Hey there, dessert lovers! If you’ve ever found yourself staring into the freezer, wishing for something new and exciting to tempt your taste buds, allow me to introduce you to your next obsession: Creamy Bread Ice Cream! This delightful treat is not just easy to whip up—it’s also a fantastic way to transform simple ingredients into something creamy, dreamy, and utterly satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of bread, crusts removed and cut into cubes
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Blend It All Up
Let’s get started! Grab your blender and toss in those delightful bread cubes. Add the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of salt. Blend everything together until the mixture is super smooth and creamy. It’s like a little magic moment in your kitchen!
2. Chill, Baby, Chill
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and pop it into the fridge for at least 2 hours. This magic step helps the flavors develop and gives your ice cream that smooth texture we all crave.
3. Churn It Up!
After your mixture has chilled, take it out and pour it into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn it until it reaches that perfect creamy consistency. Honestly, the sound of the churning is music to my ears—it’s like a sweet symphony of dessert coming together!
4. Freeze for Perfection
Transfer your ice cream to an airtight container and freeze it for at least 4 hours. I know, I know—waiting is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth it!
Notes
- Old Bread? No Problem! Got some bread lying around that’s a bit stale? Perfect! Stale bread works wonders in this recipe, lending flavor and texture without any waste.
- Flavor Variations: Feeling adventurous? You can stir in some chocolate chips, nuts, or even a swirl of caramel before the freezing step!
- Don’t Panic! If your mixture looks a bit lumpy post-blending, that’s totally normal. It’s all part of the charm of homemade ice cream!
