Gourmet Brioche With Chocolate And Vanilla Ice Cream
- 8 slices of Sliced Brioche Loaf
- 100g dark or milk chocolate, chopped
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 pint (500ml) vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup (30g) almond flakes
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Place 4 slices of brioche on a work surface. Spread a layer of melted chocolate on each slice.
Top with the remaining 4 slices of brioche to create a sandwich with chocolate between each layer. Repeat until you have a stacked brioche sandwich with chocolate layers in between.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the brioche stack in the skillet and cook each side until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to press down too hard to avoid squeezing out the chocolate.
Place the toasted brioche stack on a serving plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle with almond flakes. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve immediately while the brioche is warm and the ice cream is cold.
