Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups softened ice cream
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
Supporting Ingredients:
- Multicolored sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat your oven to precisely 350°F and position the rack in the center position.
- Generously coat an 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½-inch bread loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Allow 2 cups of ice cream to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until slightly melty.
- Vigorously stir the ice cream for 45-60 seconds until it reaches a smooth, consistent texture.
- Add 1 ½ cups of self-rising flour directly into the softened ice cream bowl.
- Gently fold the flour into the ice cream using 8-10 light strokes, stopping when ingredients are just combined.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Scatter a handful of multicolored sprinkles across the surface if you want extra color and texture.
- Place the pan in the 350°F oven and bake for exactly 42-45 minutes.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge completely clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread rest inside for 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the bread to a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool for an additional 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Choose a rich, creamy ice cream flavor for the best bread texture and taste.
- Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for easier mixing, but don’t let it completely melt.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or even rocky road for unique bread variations.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleanup of your delicious bread.
