Ice cream and flour turn to bread? Yes, you read that right! This recipe is one of those magical recipes that makes you scratch your head at how this is done. But, it works and it is so tasty. 

Ice Cream Bread

I know for me when I was little anything with sprinkles was always a treat. Well, even though my boys are getting older, I wanted to serve up a fun sprinkled dessert. 

So I grabbed my flour and ice cream and got at it.

What Is Ice Cream Bread

Ice cream bread is generally a 2 ingredient recipe that uses flour and ice cream. Mix the two items, pour into a pan, and bake. Top with sprinkles like me, or leave it plain.

Then you can slice and serve a slightly sweet ice cream bread to all your loved ones. 

Can You Swap Out Ice Cream Flavors 

Traditionally you will find many recipes for vanilla ice cream. But you can get creative and reach for other flavors of ice cream if you would like. It will add a bit more flavor to your bread. 

A pecan praline, strawberry, or even chocolate ice cream could be a fun alternative. You just want to make sure the ice cream you get will not melt up weird with the add-in ingredients. Like a bubblegum ice cream would not be great to have. So just think how will this bake up in the oven. 

What If I Don’t Have Self Rising Flour 

If you do not have self rising flour, you can reach for all purpose flour. Add a tablespoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt to the flour mixture. 

This will help the flour mix well with the ice cream and then rise up and bake properly. Without the baking powder, your recipe will fall flat. 

Can I Use A Low Fat Or Sugar Free Ice Cream 

No, unfortunately, you need regular ice cream. If you reach for a low fat or sugar free you will find it can negatively affect the outcome of your bread.

So if you take the risk in making it with a variance of ice cream, do so at your own risk. It will not turn out how you are hoping for. 

Can You Freeze Leftover Bread 

Of course. If you have extra bread on hand that you don’t plan to eat right away, feel free to freeze. Just wrap tightly in aluminum foil and then place in a freezer bag. Or use an airtight container. 

Store for up to three months. Thaw on the counter or in the fridge the night before you plan to serve it up.

Add Ins To Ice Cream Bread

  • Add your favorite chocolate chips
  • Mix in sprinkles into the batter for a Funfetti style bread 
  • Fold in some fruit if you would like 

You can add in different items to help give this bread more flavor. It is a mild flavored bread so don’t expect it to be overly sweet.
