Instructions
Prepare the Bread
Preheat oven to 375F. Cut the top off the milk bread loaf and carefully hollow out the inside leaving a 1 inch thick border on all sides and the bottom. Cut the removed bread into large cubes and set aside along with the bread shell.
Butter and Toast
Brush the inside of the bread shell and the bread cubes generously with melted butter mixed with honey. Place the shell and cubes on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp.
Whip the Cream
While the bread toasts, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag or keep in the bowl for spooning.
Assemble the Toast
Remove the toasted bread shell from the oven and place the toasted bread cubes back inside the hollow. Place scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the bread cubes and then pile whipped cream generously over everything.
Finish and Serve
Arrange sliced strawberries around and on top of the whipped cream. Drizzle extra honey over the entire dessert and serve immediately before the ice cream melts.
