Description

A delightful Vegan Shibuya Toast recipe featuring crispy bread cubes, sweet mixed berries, and creamy vanilla ice cream with a hint of ginger, perfect for a decadent dessert or special treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Spread

  • 1 loaf white bread cut from the end of the loaf
  • 3 Tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 4 Tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Fruit Topping

  • 1 cup mixed berries
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup

Ice Cream

  • 1 scoop vanilla vegan ice cream mixed with grated ginger to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Cut out the center part of the bread loaf, leaving walls at least 1.5 cm thick to form a box. Cut the removed bread into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Melt Butter and Maple Syrup: In a pan, combine the melted vegan butter and 3 Tbsp maple syrup. Cook for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
  3. Set Aside Mixture: Transfer the butter and maple syrup mixture to a bowl, reserving 1 Tbsp in the pan.
  4. Fry Bread Cubes: Add the bread cubes to the pan with the reserved butter and maple syrup. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  5. Brush Bread Box: Use the reserved butter and maple syrup mixture to brush the inside and outside of the hollowed bread box thoroughly.
  6. Bake Bread Box: Place the bread box in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Cook Berries: In a pan, combine the mixed berries with the remaining 1 Tbsp maple syrup. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the berries are slightly softened and syrupy.
  8. Assemble Toast: Fill the toasted bread box with alternating layers of the cooked berries and fried bread cubes.
  9. Add Ice Cream and Cinnamon: Top the assembled toast with the scoop of vanilla ice cream mixed with grated ginger and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  10. Serve Immediately: Serve within 10-15 minutes of assembling to enjoy the perfect contrast of warm toast and cold ice cream.

Notes

  • Leave the bread walls at least 1.5 cm thick when hollowing to maintain structure.
  • Remove bread cubes from oven 10 minutes before removing the toast box itself to prevent overcooking.
  • Assemble the toast with toppings just before serving to preserve texture and freshness.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe fully vegan.
  • If vanilla vegan ice cream is unavailable, use any plant-based vanilla-flavored frozen dessert.
