This is also known as "poor man's praline ice cream" because it gives a similar texture but uses cheaper ingredients. This is a great way to use up brown soda or whole-wheat bread crumbs that would otherwise be wasted.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Make the Ballymaloe vanilla ice cream and freeze.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Step 3
Spread the chunky bread crumbs on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar and toast in the oven for 10–15 minutes. Stir every 4 or 5 minutes until the sugar caramelizes and coats the bread crumbs. Spread onto a Silpat mat and let cool. Then pulse the caramelized bread crumbs into small, chunky bits in a food processor.
Step 4
When the ice cream is semi-frozen, fold in the bread crumbs and freeze until fully frozen.
