Ice Cream Bread

More and more I am seeing food videos pop up in my Facebook feed.  I’m sure you know the ones I am talking about: they’re quick, look so easy, and of course, delicious.  I usually save them only to be added to the long list of recipes and links in my Facebook folder that I never really look at again.  Well, I came across this one and it stuck in my head, one, because it is a dessert, and two, because it only has two main ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen.  I had to finally try one of these video recipes to se if the are indeed that simple and “Tasty”.

• 1 Pint ice cream (any flavor, but I used plain old vanilla
• 1 1/4 Cup self-rising flour
• Optional: mix-ins (I used sprinkles and chocolate chips)

1. Allow ice cream to melt in your mixing bowl.  Once melted, slowly add in flour and mix until well blended.
2. Mix in sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc.
3. Line a bread tin with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
4. Spoon bread mix into pan evenly.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 34-40 minutes.
6. Let cool and enjoy with a scoop of ice cream!

Simple enough, right? I really liked this dessert, but more so when served with ice cream.  Keep in mind that this is a BREAD recipe, not a cake recipe.  Ice Cream Bread is only mildly sweet and is sort of dense.  When you serve it with ice cream it makes it sweeter and a little more moist.

This is a perfect recipe to get the kiddos involved in.  I had Henley add in the sprinkles and chocolate chips, and I would be lying if I said she didn’t dip her fingers in the melted ice cream multiple times!  We had a great time making this and I am looking forward to trying another version of my own, so stay tuned!
