Brown bread ice cream

Brown bread ice cream is a unique, traditional British dessert made by incorporating toasted, caramelized breadcrumbs into a creamy ice cream base. The brown bread crumbs are typically made from stale or toasted wholemeal bread, which is sweetened and baked to create a crunchy texture.

These crumbs are then folded into a rich vanilla ice cream, providing a delightful contrast between the smooth, creamy ice cream and the nutty, crunchy bread. It was particularly popular during the Victorian era as a way to creatively use leftover bread.
