Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 3 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds, aiming for about 6 slices.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and brush it generously onto both sides of each baguette slice.
Sprinkle sugar lightly onto one side of each slice for added sweetness and crispness.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Remove and let cool.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, basil, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze. Stir gently to mix and set aside.
To assemble, place a baguette slice on a serving plate. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, then add another baguette slice on top like a sandwich.
Drizzle each stack with the remaining balsamic glaze and the strawberry-basil mixture.
Top with whipped cream and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately as a playful and refreshing dessert!
