Instructions

Prepare the Bread

Cut off the crusts of the bread slices and tear the bread into small pieces. In a medium bowl, soak the bread pieces in the milk for at least 30 minutes, or until fully saturated and softened.

Combine Ingredients

In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked bread mixture, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If using a blender, you may need to do this in batches.

Freeze and Churn

Pour the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until partially frozen. Remove from the freezer and churn the mixture well using a whisk or a hand mixer. This breaks up any ice crystals.

Final Freeze

Return the mixture to the airtight container and freeze for another 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is solid. For a smoother texture, churn once more after 2-3 hours of the final freezing.

Serve and Enjoy

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Bread Ice Cream:

Use day-old bread: Day-old bread soaks up the milk better and creates a smoother ice cream.
Don't over-blend: Over-blending can lead to a slightly watery ice cream. Blend until smooth but not completely liquefied.
Churning is key: Churning the ice cream multiple times prevents large ice crystals and results in a creamier texture.
Get creative with flavor: Add cardamom, rosewater, or other spices for a unique twist.
