Toasted Angel Food Cake with Praline Topping & Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients
-
Jefferson Jellies Praline Topping
-
Angel Food Cake, sliced
-
Ice Cream of your choice (vanilla works beautifully)
-
Unsalted butter (for toasting)
Instructions
-
Heat the pan: Preheat your skillet until hot.
-
Toast the cake: Melt a bit of butter in the pan, then add the sliced angel food cake. Toast each side until golden brown and slightly blackened for that irresistible caramelized flavor.
-
Assemble and serve: Place the toasted cake on a plate, drizzle generously with Jefferson Jellies Praline Topping, top with a scoop of ice cream, and finish with another drizzle of praline sauce.
Tips for the Perfect Finish
-
Mix it up: Try pecan praline, bourbon vanilla, or butter pecan ice cream for extra richness.
-
Presentation idea: Serve in a shallow bowl so the praline sauce pools around the cake — it looks as amazing as it tastes.
-
Party trick: Toast the cake slices ahead of time, then reheat quickly before serving for an easy, make-ahead dessert.
