Ice cream in bread is an iconic street sweet in Singapore and Vietnam. It might seem odd at first, but neutral, soft (or crispy) bread is the perfect carrier for cold, sweet ice cream, soaking up melting parts so it doesn't drip. The crunch of roasted peanuts puts the cherry on top.

Recipe FAQ

Doesn't the bread get soggy?
Yes, a little, and that's the point! Sweet ice cream juice turns the bread inside into something sponge-cake-like. But toasting keeps it holding together longer.
