To enjoy, simply remove a slice from the package. It is ready to eat as is. For a slightly different texture or flavor, you can warm a slice gently in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also use it as a base for more elaborate desserts, such as bread pudding or trifle.
