Instructions

Prepare the Bread: Start with thick slices of brioche bread and lightly butter each side, spreading evenly to ensure a golden crust once toasted.
Toast Until Golden: Toast the bread in a preheated pan or oven over medium heat, turning until both sides achieve a perfect golden brown with a crispy texture while retaining a soft interior.
Cut and Stack: Cut the toasted bread into bite-sized cubes carefully, then either pile them back into the hollowed-out bread shell or neatly stack them on a plate for a rustic presentation.
Drizzle Honey and Add Butter: Generously drizzle top-quality honey over the warm bread cubes, allowing it to seep into every nook and cranny. Place small pats of butter on top so they melt into creamy pockets of flavor.
Add Final Touches: Top the honey-drizzled toast with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Scatter fresh fruits or nuts as desired, and optionally dust with powdered sugar to finish with a pretty touch.

Notes

Use thick, soft bread like brioche or challah for best results.
Toast on medium heat to prevent burning and achieve deep golden color.
Apply honey and butter while the bread is still warm for better absorption.
Choose pure, flavorful honey varieties such as acacia or clover for enhanced taste.
Prepare fruits and nuts in advance to serve immediately and keep toast warm.
