Huey's French Toast Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- olive oil flavored cooking spray
- 2 teaspoons olive oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
- 8 slices fruit bread or 8 slices white bread, cut into thick slices
- 4 scoops ice cream, any flavour, softened
- 1⁄4 cup chopped pecans
- 1⁄4 cup chocolate, grated (optional)
- 6 strawberries, hulled and finely sliced (optional)
directions
- Beat together the eggs, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Dip the slices of bread into the egg mixture and then cook on a lightly oiled grill for about 45 seconds on each side; set aside to cool. Alternatively, you can panfry the slices of bread (preferably in a non-stick pan) in a little oil with about a teaspoon of unsalted butter; add more olive oil and butter if necessary but you shouldn't need to add much more if you're using a non-stick pan.
- When the bread has cooled, place a scoop of ice cream on a piece of bread, spreading it out across the slice; scatter with a quarter of the pecans and a quarter of the grated chocolate or a quarter of the strawberry slices; top with another piece of bread, press down and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Then repeat the process and freeze the sandwiches for 1-2 hours.
- Unwrap the sandwiches and serve them as a snack or as a dessert.

I made this with French toast as described, French vanilla ice cream, and caramel sauce. It had a really good flavor, but I just could not get used to the ice cream/sandwich bread combo. I wish I could find a better way to combine those flavors without using bread in it. Maybe someone could come up with a recipe for French toast-flavored cake to use instead, or maybe even use Halcyon Eve's [url=http://www.recipezaar.com/Cookie-Pancakes-Chocolate-Chip-Snickerdoodle-or-Oatmeal-206673]Snickerdoodle Pancakes[/url] instead of the bread.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
