The ingredients in this recipe sound different than the usual ice cream recipe but this ice cream is delicious and a bit-out-of-the-ordinary. This is also a great way to use up left over bread and give your family a healthy and delicious treat. Prep time does not include refrigeration time (2-4 hours) or freezing time (overnight). Cook time includes processing time. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (April 1984) Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (or use whatever leftover bread you have available) |
1/2 cup raw sugar (or substitute brown sugar) |
4 eggs, separated, at room temperature (or egg substitute) |
1 pinch cream of tartar |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 cup whipping cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Spread bread crumbs on a baking sheet. Cover bread crumbs with 1/4 cup of the raw sugar (or brown sugar).
3. Broil 6 inches from heat source about 1 minute or until crumbs brown and sugar starts to melt. Stir well and sprinkle with remaining (1/4 cup) raw sugar. Broil for another 1 1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Cool to room temperature and then grind using the chopping blade in a food processor (or use a blender).
5. In a large bowl and using an electric mixer beat egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks. Add powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time until whites are stiff and shiny.
6. Beat in yolks, one at a time.
7. In a separate bowl with clean beaters whip cream to soft peaks.
8. Stir in vanilla and fold into egg mixture with reserved crumbs.
9. Let cool in refrigerate (2-4 hours).

11. Turn mixture into plastic container and freeze hard in freezer overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours).
12. Soften ice cream in refrigerator before serving.
