🧾 Ingredients
- 4 cups softened vanilla ice cream (not melted)
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
🍳 Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan.
- Soften the ice cream at room temperature until scoopable—not liquid. Avoid microwaving, as it may affect texture.
- Mix: In a large bowl, stir together the softened ice cream and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually fold in the self-rising flour until fully incorporated. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Bake: Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Optional: Brush the top with melted butter while still warm for a rich, golden finish.
- Cool: Let the bread rest in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
