Melted Ice Cream French Toast

Ingredients

• 1 cup Ice cream (Use any flavor; allow room in the microwave-safe bowl for bubbling.)
• 4 slice Challah bread (Cut thick; use any bread if desired.)
• 1 tbsp Butter (For greasing the skillet; inferred as needed for cooking.)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the ice cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until melted and pourable. Stir carefully and let it stand briefly if it is very hot.

2. 2

   Cut the challah into thick slices. Thick slices work best because they absorb the melted ice cream while remaining fluffy in the center.

3. 3

   Dip each slice of challah into the melted ice cream, turning it so both sides are coated. Do not leave the bread submerged so long that it becomes fragile or falls apart.

4. 4

   Heat a skillet over low heat and melt the butter in it, if using. The pan should be warm but not hot enough to scorch the sweet coating.

5. 5

   Place the coated bread in the skillet. Cook over low heat for a few minutes, until the underside is golden brown and the center feels set but still soft.

6. 6

   Turn the slices carefully and cook the other side over low heat for a few more minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Serve the ice cream French toast warm. Add toppings such as fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, or additional ice cream if desired.

Notes

The transcript does not specify the ice cream flavor, exact amount, number of bread slices, or cooking-fat quantity. These amounts are practical estimates for two servings. Watch the pan closely because the sugar in the ice cream can brown quickly.
