Description
This playful and creative recipe transforms simple ingredients like bread, cheese, banana, and strawberry into a fun and tasty treat resembling an ice cream cone.

Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 2 slices bread
- 1 slice cheese
- Butter, enough to butter slices
Fruits
- 1 banana
- 1 strawberry
Instructions
- Shape the Bread: Cut the corners off of the bread slices to shape them like cones. Keep the bread scraps for later use.
- Prepare and Grill: Butter each bread slice, place a slice of cheese between the buttered bread, and grill until the cheese melts and the bread is golden. Place the grilled sandwiches on a plate.
- Create Cone Texture: Remove the crust from the bread scraps and pinch small pieces to form a cross pattern on top of the grilled bread, enhancing the appearance of an ice cream cone. This step is optional but adds a fun visual detail.
- Add Banana “Ice Cream”: Slice the banana and layer the slices along the top edge of the grilled bread to represent scoops of ice cream.
- Top with Strawberry “Cherry”: Cut the strawberry to resemble a cherry and place it on top of the banana slices to complete the ice cream look.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of cheese; mild cheddar or mozzarella work well for melting.
- Be careful while grilling so the bread doesn’t burn before the cheese melts.
- This recipe is adaptable—try other fruits or toppings for different looks and flavors.
- Optional: Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the banana for added sweetness.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
