Ingredients and substitutions

This ice cream bread is incredibly simple to make for something that tastes so good. To make this sweet treat, you will need the following ingredients:

• Full fat vanilla ice cream – It’s important to use full fat ice cream in this recipe, lower fat varieties will affect the end result.

• Sprinkles, optional

How to make ice cream bread

Before making this ice cream bread, preheat the oven to 180c and line a loaf tin with baking paper. Set aside while making the bread mixture.

Ensure the ice cream you are using is a full fat and sugar version. Reduced sugar or fat ice cream is just not going to give the same results.

Allow the ice cream to soften completely before making the mixture. Then, add it to a large mixing bowl along with the self raising flour. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf tin. Decorate the top with sprinkles if using. Bake the ice cream bread in the preheat oven for around 45 minutes, or until cooked through. Allow to cool in the tin. Store the ice cream bread in an airtight container at room temperature.
