If you think a delicious ice cream sandwich can only be made with waffles or cookies, you're wrong. You can use croutons instead! Giada De Laurentiis suggests making an Italian-style ice cream sandwich: slices of bread with dried fruits and nuts are pan-fried until golden brown, then spread with Nutella (or any other chocolate-hazelnut spread), and then layered with a thick layer of vanilla ice cream filled with chocolate candy pieces. This ice cream is also easy to make at home!
