with Noona’s Black Sesame Ice Cream
By: Jessica Delph
Who says you can’t have ice cream for breakfast? Deciding to add our Black Sesame Ice Cream to our breakfast today was perhaps the best decision we ever made before 10am. We highly recommend you do the same! Today, we’re in the kitchen making Ice Cream Stuffed French Toast, and we’re here to tell you you will never want to eat normal French toast again after trying this recipe.
If you love french toast and ice cream, bookmarking this recipe is a must! Not only did we conjure up a tasty recipe for breakfast, but we stuffed it with ricotta! The light and airy texture of ricotta along with its subtle tang makes it the perfect ingredient for our Ice Cream Stuffed French Toast.
To start, let’s make sure we have some Noona’s Ice Cream in the freezer. After ice cream, the most important ingredient is the BREAD! Brioche is highly recommended or a challah, since both have a tender crumb and a buttery sweetness that will add to this dish.
Let’s make this breakfast of champs dessert, shall we?
Ingredients
Serving size 1-3
2 eggs
1 pint of Noona’s Black Sesame Ice Cream
Two slices of brioche or challah bread
1 pinch of cinnamon
1 pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup of Ricotta
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp Black Sesame Crunchy Butter
honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
How To Do It
Make a pocket or hole in bread by piercing the top of the bread with a knife gently ( the ricotta will be stuffed in here. Be careful not to cut too deep or you puncture our bread pocket.
2. Mix ricotta, sea salt, cinnamon and lemon zest and set to the side.
3. Crack eggs in a shallow dish.
4. Add 2 scoops of black sesame ice cream in a bowl and microwave for a 30 second burst until it is melted.
5. Whisk melted ice cream with the cracked eggs in the shallow bowl until and homogenous mixture forms.
6. Then, take a spoon and stuff the ricotta filling gently into the pocket we made in the bread earlier. Here is where you can stuff it to the brim or if you prefer a little less, adjust to your taste.
7. Next, melt some butter in a pan and turn stove on, medium heat.
8. Dip bread in eggy mixture gently both sides until it has soaked up enough egg.
9. Add soaked bread slices to heated pan.
10. Cook until golden brown on both sides, it is okay if some filling oozes out. This should take about 2-3 minutes on each side.
11. Transfer to a plate and either cut across to make sure little triangles or leave whole. The choice is yours.
12. Last but not least serve with copious scoops of Black Sesame Ice Cream. And our secret weapon that rounds out the dish is Rooted Fare’s Black Sesame Crunchy Butter. It’s luxury in a jar and a light drizzle of this along with honey or maple syrup will set you right for the rest of the day.
Dairy-Free/Vegan Version:
