Macaron Brick Toast
Brick toast is a popular Taiwanese snack. Thick slices of bread are slathered with either condensed milk or a sugar butter mixture and then toasted until the sugar caramelizes. A newer style of brick toast involves using a giant "brick" of bread. The inside pieces are individually toasted and then stacked back into the brick. It is then topped with ice cream, fruit, cookies, or whatever else you desire.
Ingredients
- 1 unsliced fresh loaf of white bread
- 1/4 cup condensed milk
- 3 French macarons
- 2 pirouette cookies
- 4 scoops of ice cream, I used salted caramel
- chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Slice off approximately 4 1/2 inches of the bread loaf, or whatever size you desire your brick toast to be.
- Using a long bread knife, cut a square into your brick. Leave about 1/4 inch from the four edges and bottom. Make sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Using your hand, carefully slip into one side until you reach near the bottom and pull out the entire inner square in one piece.
- Take inner square and cut into smaller, bite-size brick pieces.
- Spread condensed milk on all sides of the brick pieces except one. Spread condensed milk on the inner four edges of the large square toast.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place brick pieces and the large square toast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place brick pieces so they lay on the side without any condensed milk. Place baking sheet into the oven and toast for approximately 10 minutes until all the brick pieces are caramelized and toasted and so are the top edges of the larger brick.
- Remove from oven and assemble and stack bricks back into the large square. Then top with ice cream, macarons, toppings of your choice. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and serve immediately.
