I love these literal "ice cream sandwiches" by using sweet bread like raisin walnut, or even cinnamon swirl bread. This is something Jade used to always request! They're delicious eaten right away, but they get extra texturally wonderful after sitting in the freezer for a few hours.

Ingredients

1 pint vanilla gelato or ice cream
8 chocolate hazelnut candies (such as baci, roughly chopped)
12 slices of dried fruit and nut bread (such as raisin walnut)
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread

Instructions

Originally seen on Giada In Italy, Season 3. Episode: Sweet Masters.
Place the ice cream in a bowl and allow to soften slightly at room temperature. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped candies, cover and place in the freezer to firm up.
Preheat a grill over medium high heat.
Grill the bread for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly charred. Spread each slice with some of the hazelnut spread. Scoop 1/3 cup of the ice cream mix onto 6 of the slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices. Enjoy immediately or store sandwiches in the freezer for up to 5 hours before serving.
