The Magic of Two Ingredients
The beauty of ice cream bread lies in its simplicity. The recipe typically calls for just two main ingredients: ice cream and self-rising flour. The ice cream provides sweetness and flavor, while the self-rising flour ensures the bread rises without needing additional leavening agents.
INGREDIENTS
Ice Cream:
To prepare this bread, grab your favorite ice cream, but make sure it’s full-fat and has regular sugar. Halo or other light or sugar-free choices won’t work in this recipe. To soften the ice cream, spread it out ahead of time.
Flour:
To prepare your own self-rising flour, see the tips section. You’ll need it to bake this bread.
Icing:
The icing, which calls for powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, is what gives it all of its sweetness.
Sprinkles:
Sprinkles make everything more enjoyable, so use rainbow sprinkles or particular hues for a special event.
HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM BREAD
STEP ONE: Turn the oven on to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and put nonstick cooking spray in a loaf pan. Beat the ice cream and flour together in a medium bowl or with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Sprinkles should be incorporated.
STEP TWO: After filling the loaf pan with batter, bake it for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the bread cool completely before frosting it.
STEP THREE: In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing. Once the icing reaches your desired consistency, add more powdered sugar to thicken it or more milk to thin it. After the bread has cooled, cover it with frosting and sprinkles.
Enjoy Warm or Cold
Ice cream bread can be enjoyed warm from the oven, like a quick bread, or at room temperature. It can also be chilled for a cool, refreshing treat.
With its ease of preparation and endless flavor combinations, ice cream bread is a delightful dessert or snack that’s sure to please everyone. So next time you’re looking for something quick and sweet, give ice cream bread a try!
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- All-purpose flour is not suitable for this recipe; self-rising flour is. All you need to do to manufacture self-rising flour is mix 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder for every cup all-purpose flour. You will need 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder, and slightly less than 1/2 teaspoon salt for this recipe.
- To the mixing bowl, add the softened ice cream first, stirring until no lumps are left. Your bread will then become a little lighter and you won’t need to mix it as much when you add the flour.
- This bread can be frozen for up to three months or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Create a topping that goes well with your bread, such as a white chocolate topping with strawberry ice cream or a chocolate chip topping with brownie ice cream. You can also add dried fruit or toasted nuts.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN ICE CREAM BREAD?
As previously mentioned, all you need to make ice cream bread is ice cream and self-rising flour. The baking powder, salt, and flour needed to bake bread are all included in the self-rising flour. The milk and sugar needed to make bread are found in ice cream. Ice cream bread is incredibly tasty but not overly sugary since, in essence, all the components needed to make a loaf of bread are reduced to just two: self-rising flour and ice cream.
WHAT KIND OF ICE CREAM CAN I USE?
There’s no limit to the types of ice cream you may use or the combinations of flavors you can create as long as the ice cream is full fat and full sugar! Traditional favorites include chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. You may sample so many interesting ice cream flavors, such Moose Tracks, Cherry Garcia, and Rocky Road! Fruit, nuts, and chocolate bits in your ice cream tastes amazing and adds a little extra excitement! You are welcome to add those additions to the topping as well as the bread. The only thing to steer clear of is adding more liquid—such as jam or sauce—as this could make the bread overly moist and mushy.
