This Ice Cream Bread recipe makes a 2-ingredient dessert that your family will love. Make this easy quick bread for any celebration or party!
Ice Cream Bread Recipe
So, how can two ingredients like self-rising flour and softened ice cream turn into bread? Very easily!
The self-rising flour contains all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
That's the basis for any quick bread recipe. By adding the softened ice cream, you are adding the dairy, sugar, and flavorings to your recipe.
It's a delicious, moist, light dessert bread that takes on the flavor of whatever type of ice cream you add to it.
It's absolutely delicious and can be changed up easily by using different types of ice cream. You can go classic and simple with French vanilla ice cream or wow your guests by making it with strawberry ice cream, or rocky road.
When you choose an ice cream that contains chunks of chocolate and marshmallows or chunks of cherries, those additions will be in every slice of this bread. Yum!
Can I use low-fat ice cream?
This is because the fat and sugar in the ice cream are needed for the recipe to turn out properly. The results just won't be the same if you make substitutions.
Can I use regular all-purpose flour?
Substitute for Self-Rising Flour
You can substitute all-purpose flour in this quick bread recipe by making a few adjustments.
Self-rising flour is a blend of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
If you plan to use all-purpose flour, you’ll need to add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt to it. Then, use all-purpose in place of the self-rising.
Best add-ins for ice cream bread
But, if what you have on hand is vanilla ice cream and you really want strawberry ice cream bread, you can add sliced strawberries to your batter.
If you want chocolate ice cream bread, you can use chocolate ice cream along with chopped nuts and a handful of chocolate chips.
Just make sure that you do not add things that increase the amount of liquid in the recipe or it may not turn out the same.
So, while chopped apples should work, applesauce will not. Experiment until you find the quick bread flavors your family likes the best.

Making this recipe doesn't get much easier.

- Mix the two ingredients in a large bowl. Don't over mix it. Just mix to combine.

- Adjust the baking time based on the size of the pan you use.
You can bake it in a bundt cake pan and call it a cake. Or, bake it in a bread loaf pan and call it bread.
The end result is a simple, delicious dessert that will impress family and friends.
