This easy Ice Cream Bread recipe requires just two ingredients and transforms full-fat ice cream and self-rising flour into a soft, slightly sweet loaf with a cake-like texture. Perfect for a quick and unexpected treat, it’s simple to prepare and bakes into a delightful quick bread ideal for snacking, toasting, or making dessert sandwiches.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Bread

  • 2 cups full-fat ice cream (1 pint), any flavor melted (Vanilla Bean recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour

Homemade Self-Rising Flour (Optional)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Melt Ice Cream: Microwave the full-fat ice cream for 60 seconds until melted completely to prepare for mixing.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently stir together the melted ice cream and self-rising flour until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the bread’s tender texture.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and smooth the top evenly for uniform baking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, indicating it is done.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use only full-fat ice cream for the best texture; low-fat, low-calorie, or dairy-free ice creams typically lack enough fat and structure.
  • Self-rising flour is essential for the right rise. If unavailable, create your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt as instructed.
  • This bread resembles a quick bread or pound cake more than traditional bread — it’s soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for snacks, toasting, or dessert sandwiches.
