Honey Toast

I went out with friends to a Japanese restaurant, and we had honey toast for dessert. I'd seen it on a TV cooking show before, but this was the first time I tried it and it was amazing! It's basically a half loaf of bread, with the inside carved out and cut into bite-sized squares, then both the hollowed crust and squares are buttered and toasted, then the squares carefully placed back into the crust, then drizzled with honey and topped with ice cream and sometimes fruit and/or sauces (the place we went to offered chocolate and caramel sauce). I cannot describe how good it was--I'm drooling just thinking about it, and I really want to go back there again!

This seems like it would be a pain to make at home, but if you want to try it, or just see how it's constructed, there's a recipe, photos, and a video here.

Btw, this is definitely a dessert to share unless you have a huge appetite--three of us split one and it was still pretty filling. Or just skip dinner and head straight to dessert!
