Steps:

• Place a plate or sheet pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Using a large ice cream scoop, make balls of ice cream and place them on the sheet pan then return them to the freezer.
• Cut the crusts off the sliced bread and using about 2 slices per ice cream ball, form the bread around the ice cream using your hands to pack it like a snow ball.
• This works best if you turn 1 piece of the bread so that it is not directly over the other, so that you have 8 corners, like a star.
• Once it's completely covered return it to the freezer.
• If some ice cream melts through the edge, just wipe it off.
