This is a really great recipe to have in your arsenal. It’s quick and uses ingredients that I always have around. It’s perfect for a quick after school snack or oops-I-forgot-I-was-supposed-to-make-dessert occasions.

The flavor of the bread comes from the ice cream, so you can use any flavor you want. I went with a basic vanilla ice cream and mixed in chocolate chips – it was great. I think mint chocolate chip ice cream with crushed Oreos would be really fun, too.

Ice Cream Bread
(from Stephanie Cooks)
Makes 1 loaf

2 cups softened ice cream (I used vanilla)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix ins of your choice, optional (chocolate chips, sprinkles, fruit, crushed Oreos, etc.)

Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.

Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in softened ice cream until well combined. Fold in mix ins. Place in a greased loaf pan.

Bake for 30 minutes, until top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before removing from pan.
