Ice Cream Pandesal
One of my favorite treats as a kid was an ice cream sandwich. Nope, I’m not talking about branded treats which usually offered a scoop of vanilla ice cream squeezed in between two chocolate wafers. I’m talking about one of my favorite ice cream flavors and the simply delicious pandesal.
In my opinion, mango ice cream complements the bread’s sweet and doughy taste. Chocolate would also work well, but it tends to steal the thunder away from the bread. I prefer the light and simple balance of mango ice cream and pandesal.
Have you tried filling a pandesal with ice cream? It’s so good! It’s especially yummy if it’s the “dirty ice cream” you use, bought directly from the streetside vendor.
As for other breads, I haven’t tried it on whole wheat bread or multi-grain, but it’s an experiment worth trying, right? Ice cream on white bread (aka “Tasty”) is also good. I prefer my pandesal though. When ice cream that’s sandwiched between two slices of white bread melts, it makes one big messy pool.
Have you tried ice cream pandesal? Tell us about it!

I’ve never tried it because I don’t like my bread to be soggy.
But my husband eats his ice cream that way and the first time I discovered it, it totally cracked me up. Now I know he isn’t the only one who has strange eating habits.

Oh, Toni, you’ve made my week! That looks so good! I’m going to my closest Filipino store to get some pandesal and maybe score some mango ice cream. I will try this! Thanks for sharing it.

yay. I always eat that when I was a kid. Our suking sorbetero has 3 options in serving ice cream: in cup, cone, or monay! But I like it more if it’s done with the neighborhood bakery “Minerva cream bread”, yung cream bread na yan is their trademark loaf na ginawa talaga para palamanan ng ice cream
yummy

Hmmm I love ice cream and I love mango flavor and I know which brand is that on the picture… hahaha! My favorite brand for ice cream here in the Philippines. I’ve tried pairing it with a slice bread but never tried it as sandwiched. This is kind of exciting for me and I want to try it. ^_^
