  • Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
  • Ice Cream Bread
  • Description
    • Dust off those 1970's cookbooks, because this quick bread has made a comeback on TikTok!  You can use ANY flavor of ice cream (just make sure it's not low-fat or sugar free).  Obviously vanilla is just going to a neutral sweeter bread, whereas if you use something like Butter Pecan, Lemon, Cherry, Strawberry, etc you'll have more zip to it!  Feel free to add some spices (cinnamon, zests, etc) to even further enhance your bread!
  • Ingredients
    • 2 cups Ice Cream
    • 1 1/2 cups SELF RISING flour
  • Directions
    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F) (175 C).  Grease and flour (or line with parchment) a loaf pan.  Mix ice cream and flour in bowl just until flour disappears.  Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan and use a rubber spatula to spread out evenly.  Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
