I first came across this recipe in Facebook and was quite skeptical about its two-ingredient recipe. Using ice cream and only self-rising flour for baking a bread? Someone must be kidding! So, I wouldn't want to be tricked into it, hence, I googled for 2-ingredient ice cream bread and there, I found it all over the net! True enough, this recipe seems to be quite popular among food bloggers (how can I miss this?).
So, I tried adding some salt to it. To me, it sure tastes better as a tinge of salty flavor goes well with the sweet taste of ice cream. This is just my personal opinion and preference.
Without wasting any time, I just made do with whatever ice cream I had in my freezer. Lady luck was on me and I still had a new tub of vanilla flavored ice cream with chocolate, cashew nuts and chocolate chips in the freezer.
This quick bread is so easy peasy and even my girls can also do it. It tastes and looks like cakes, but who cares as long as it is quick and easy. Besides, it's great for children to try their hands in baking too.

This ice cream bread is slightly moist and soft.
Great to bake this 2-ingredient bread if you are in a hurry and need something quick for tea
Will definitely try this again with different flavor of ice cream
and you may also add your favorite nuts and even raisins into the batter
Oh yeah, the next round I am going to enjoy it with a scoop of ice cream on top too. Yeah!
Here's your share. Enjoy :)
Hi, Ivy...this is something new to me and it looks so simple, just ice-cream + self raising flour + salt...it looks like cake to me rather than bread...will bookmark this and try asap!
ReplyDeleteHi Jozelyn, yes only 2 ingredients and the end result is more or less tastes like cake. Overall, no harm giving this a try. You have a great week ahead and regards :)
DeleteIngenious Ivy! I have never seen this recipe before. How very intriguing. I'm so glad that I will be able to get a little taste at the Picnic Game. I bet this bread will be the talk of the picnic. It's so unusual!
ReplyDeleteI have actually used ice cream in an emergency once when I didn't have enough milk for a bread pudding I was making. It was Rocky Road and was wonderful in the pudding. I bet ice cream is even better in this bread!
Thank you so much for "bringing" this to the picnic Ivy. I can't wait to "taste" it! Thanks for sharing, Ivy...
