FRESH STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM FRENCH TOAST

Ready to take brunch to the next level? This Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream French Toast is a sure crowd-pleaser, loaded with fresh California Grown Strawberries and topped with just the right amount of Mollie Stone’s Strawberry Ice Cream made with Real California Milk.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups melted Mollie’s Real California strawberry ice cream (without inclusions, see note below), plus 1 1/2 cups frozen California strawberry ice cream
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp kosher salt
8-10 3/4-inch thick slices brioche or challah bread
8 TBSP (1 stick) Clover Sonoma Real California Milk unsalted butter, divided
2 cups sliced fresh California strawberries
2 TBSP California honey
Optional∶ powdered sugar to garnish

DIRECTIONS

PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COOK TIME: 20 minutes

Pour the melted ice cream into a wide mixing bowl. Gently fold in the beaten eggs, cinnamon, and salt. Working in batches, soak slices of the bread in the ice cream mixture for about 2 minutes, flipping once.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 TBSPS of the butter. Add soaked bread, 1-2 slices at a time, cooking until golden brown, roughly 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining bread, heating more butter in the pan as needed.
Melt the remaining 2 TBSPs of butter in the pan, then cook the strawberries until they’ve softened, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the honey.
Plate the French toast slices on individual plates or a large platter, then top with the warmed strawberries and scoops of the frozen strawberry ice cream. Garnish with powdered sugar (optional) and serve warm before the ice cream melts!

YIELD: 4 servings

NOTE: How do you improve upon a brunch classic like French toast? Ice cream. Strawberry ice cream, specifically–topped with warm, honey-sweetened slices of fresh strawberries. We recommend using ice cream without inclusions for the dredge so that those don’t stick to the toast, but if you can’t find that, simply strain out the larger inclusions when you melt it.

GROCERY ESSENTIALS

Are you looking for the ultimate grocery essentials restock? Because we think that the items below are some of the best to fill your kitchen!

HEYDAY
CANNING CO.

“We’ll be honest with you guys…If you told us a few years ago that we would start a canned food company, we probably would’ve been like, hmm, weird prediction! We would have told you that canned foods are boring ol’ commodities with zero emphasis on flavor. Canned food couldn’t possibly be exciting, or fun, or really, really delicious.

Then, one magical day, it dawned on us that the problem with canned food wasn’t the can itself: it was the lack of imagination about what could go inside of the can. We hopped into the kitchen with a pressure canner and a pile of mason jars and started testing exciting, fun, and really, really delicious recipes. We started with beans – because beans are a perfect food, made even more perfect when simmered in aromatic, vibrantly flavored sauces – and the first Heyday product line was born. It took a lot of testing (and one near-death experience involving an accidental bean bomb… story for another time) but we ended up with a line of recipes that changed everything we thought we knew about canned food. Canned food 4 ever” – Founders of Heyday Canning Co. Kat and Jaime

SUMMER REFRESHERS

There are so many delicious ways to stay hydrated this summer! Next time you pack your basket for a day at the park add in a couple of these refreshments to quench your thirst in style.

HOPLARK HOPTEA

Hoplark’s HopTea is what happens when you brew tea like a craft beer. Unexpected, yet surprisingly familiar. A new way to experience hops. They’re bold, refreshing and a bit unusual. Precisely how they like it.

This all started over a beer, or lack thereof. Friends Dean Eberhardt and Andrew Markley were at a craft brewery while Dean was nearly finishing up a month off of drinking, in an effort to kickstart some healthier habits. But it wasn’t the buzz Dean realized he missed — it was the ritual, the familiarity, the camaraderie. The smell and taste of that hoppy, bubbly cold ale his buddy was enjoying. The craft beer experience. And that’s when it hit them. To brew tea like beer, with the hops, but without sugars, additives or any fermentation. Not your grandma’s sweet tea. Hoppy, but with less punch than your best friend’s IPA, HopTea is for those looking to fuel their curiosity.

NIXIE

Pop into a new era of soda! Delicious certified organic goodness with no sugar or artificial sweeteners in crave-worthy, iconic flavors you know and love.

Nixie’s mission is to eliminate sugar, single-use plastic bottles, and toxic forever chemicals from the beverage aisle. Thank you for helping them transform what people drink!

SWOON

Swoon was founded with a mission to make life sweet without the sugar. For them, it’s personal. And personally, they think zero sugar doesn’t have to mean boring! Their co-founder, Jen, is a Type 1 diabetic, so they know how important it is to have a drink that not only tastes good – but feels good too.
