Ingredients
- 14 ounces Vanilla flavored ice cream, approximately 1 ⅔ cups and thawed to a pourable consistency (We used Haagen-Dazs brand)
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 3 tablespoons rainbow colored jimmie sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350* F. Lightly spray an 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf pan with baker’s spray and line the pan with a piece of parchment paper. Be sure to allow enough of the parchment paper to overhang the sides to easily lift the baked bread out of the pan to cool and slice.
- To a large mixing bowl add the thawed vanilla ice cream and self-rising flour.
- Using a large rubber spatula, or wooden spoon, gently stir together the ingredients just until combined and no large lumps remain. Be sure to not overmix this batter or the baked ice cream bread will be dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread the top into an even layer. Sprinkle the top of the ice cream bread with the rainbow colored sprinkles.
- Bake the ice cream bread for 35 - 40 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 8-10 minutes before lifting out of the pan, removing the parchment paper, and placing the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- We recommend you buy high quality, full fat ice cream made with real cream, eggs, and sugar to get your desired results. Since there are only two ingredients, all the flavor comes from the ice cream, so buy one that tastes great!
- Make sure the parchment paper is well-pressed into the corners of the pan to avoid wrinkles that might affect the shape of your bread.
- Take the ice cream out of the freezer about 30 minutes before you start, giving it time to soften at room temperature.
- Gently push out any big clumps of flour against the side of the bowl using the spoon or spatula without overworking the batter.
