Ice cream bread is a quirky two-ingredient recipe that combines softened ice cream with self-rising flour to create a moist, cake-like loaf. It’s quick, easy, and endlessly customizable depending on the flavor of ice cream and mix-ins you choose.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups full-fat ice cream (any flavor, softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, or fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Let ice cream soften at room temperature until scoopable and slightly melted.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened ice cream with self-rising flour. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  4. Fold in optional mix-ins such as chocolate chips or sprinkles.
  5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use full-fat ice cream for best results; low-fat or dairy-free may yield a drier loaf.If you don’t have self-rising flour, substitute with 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt per cup.Make muffins instead of a loaf by baking in a muffin tin for 20–22 minutes.Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
