Looking for a bread that requires zero skill, two ingredients, and no kneading? This basic Ice Cream Bread made with vanilla ice cream and self-rising flour is exactly what you’re looking for!

Given the recent events, even traditional bread ingredients like all-purpose flour and yeast are hard to come by. But if you can get your hands on some self-rising flour and ice cream (of any flavor) you can make yourself a nice loaf of Ice Cream Bread!

In the past, I’ve shared Blueberry, Strawberry, and even Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ice Cream Bread recipes. But I thought having the base recipe might be helpful to some of you.

So yeah, just two ingredients and loaf pan and you’re ready to get baking!

Ingredients

  • Ice Cream – Make sure to use full-fat ice cream and avoid sugar-free or reduced sugar varieties as well, for the best results. This will bring in your liquid and sugar to the batter.
  • Self Rising Flour – This is actually all-purpose flour that has salt and baking powder mixed in. You wouldn’t use yeast with this type of flour because baking powder is a leavening agent and will allow the dough to rise while baking.

Why This Recipe Works

The ice cream and flour work together to create a dense and delicious quick bread. Most of the ingredients you’d use to make bread exist within these two and therefore the right ratio can produce a yummy loaf all on their own!

Quick bread recipes are great because they don’t require any proofing, kneading, and are usually ready to enjoy in under an hour.

Using vanilla ice cream will yield a lightly sweetened bread that’s great plain, butter, or with jelly! You could even top with macerated berries and whipped cream for an easy dessert option! It griddles up really nicely too!

However, you can use any flavor of full-fat ice cream you’d like to change the flavor of the bread. And you can even add chocolate chips or berries into the batter, just toss them in the flour beforehand so they don’t sink to the bottom!

    If I am using all purpose flour, how much baking powder should I use?

      Renee, I have only ever made this with self-rising flour and have never made it with a substitute so I can’t say for sure, sorry.
