5 Star Foodie Junior:
We spent our last summer in Dublin, Ireland. We stayed there for a while, and we had our own apartment. I enjoyed seeing all the sights in Dublin and my favorite activity every day was chasing the pigeons and feeding ducks in St. Stephen's Green park. One day we had lunch with Mama's blogger friend, Aoife (Daily Spud). We had a fun lunch, and after lunch Aoife showed us an ice cream shop, and its name was Murphy's. We came back there later, and tried different flavors of ice cream. My favorite was the Brown Bread Ice Cream.
When Mommy told me that Aoife is doing a St. Patrick's Day Parade event on her blog, I wanted to participate and so we decided to make the Brown Bread Ice Cream.
On Saturday, we made Brown Soda Bread. First, I mixed melted butter and honey together. Then, I mixed whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ, baking soda, and salt. Next, we put in the egg, honey mixture, and buttermilk.
Mommy helped me mix and form the dough. We put the dough in a pan and put in the oven.
When the bread was baked, we cooled it for a while.
We ate some of fresh bread for dinner with Potato, Salmon And Cream Cheese Chowder, a recipe that we found on Aoife's blog.
On Sunday morning, we prepared the ice cream (using this recipe as a guideline). First, I poured milk in a pot and then we put vanilla seeds and the vanilla bean, and heated the milk a little bit.
While the milk with vanilla was standing, we made the breadcrumbs. We crumbled the brown soda bread in a food processor and mixed with regular sugar and brown sugar. Then, I scattered the breadcrumbs on a baking rack and put in the oven until the sugars were melted.

Next, I whisked the egg yolks with sugar and the vanilla milk. Then, I stirred the egg yolk vanilla milk mixture in a pot until it was thickened. We chilled this custard in the refrigerator.
We whipped the cream and folded the vanilla custard in and then breadcrumbs. Then, we put the mixture in the containers and froze it.

The Brown Bread Ice Cream tasted like vanilla and the breadcrumbs were crunchy and crumbly.
We served strawberries on top of the ice cream and the strawberries went nicely with the brown bread ice cream.
