I’d always wanted to try brioche ice cream sandwiches after reading about the Sicilian practice of serving warm brioche with gelato for breakfast some twenty years ago. It wasn’t until my second, and fairly recent trip to this fascinating island that I visited a bar in Zambucca, that offered warm brioche and a selection of gelato. I was so excited to finally taste this, and thought it a great idea to have the components on hand for a casual, no fuss day, when anyone might drop in. For me, it’s always about using what’s on hand. I’ve found that the brioche freeze beautifully and I always have a stash of my ice creams in the freezer, as you can imagine! -MB
