Ingredients

1 unsliced loaf of sandwich bread

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 sliced banana (can substitute/add: strawberries, kiwis, raspberries, etc.)

1-3 scoops ice cream (pick your favorite flavor)

2-3 vanilla wafers or rolled wafers for decoration (optional)

honey or chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. To create the bricks, cut off one end and hollow out the bread with a sharp knife so the sides are even and the bottom is intact.  (Tip: It helps to make a cut on the outside near the bottom on one of the four sides to release the center.) This creates a bread container.  Then, cut the hollowed out section into cubes.
3. Mix the butter, sugar and vanilla.
4. Spread the butter mixture on each of the cubes and inside the bread container.
5. Place the butter-covered bread container and cubes in the oven for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Fill the bread container halfway with the cubes and fruit, then lightly drizzle with honey or chocolate syrup.
7. Fill the bread container to the top with the cubes and fruit, then lightly drizzle with honey or chocolate syrup.
8. Place 1-3 scoops of ice cream and 2-3 wafers on top.
9. Drizzle honey or chocolate syrup on top of the ice cream and enjoy!
