Ice cream bread comes together so easily because of everything the sweet, creamy ingredient already brings to the table. A store-bought pint of ice cream contains almost all the ingredients required to make a cake. It comes with all the sugar, fat, emulsifiers, and flavors you need — as long as you use a full-fat flavor instead of a low-fat alternative. All you need to do is combine the ice cream with flour (and possibly a leavening agent; more information on that to come) to create your fluffy, flavorful, cake-like confection. Many have put this recipe to the test, including TikToker @angelhallman. She demonstrates using the ever-so-delectable Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream.

As shown, you need a pint (2 cups) of your favorite ice cream and 1½ cups of self-rising flour (note, it is not the same as self-raising flour). You want to use it only when appropriately softened, and a plastic bag can save you some time for the thaw. Once soft, mix the ice cream with the flour until it forms a soft dough. Then, transfer the mixture into a sprayed loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes. As with most baked goods, preparing it is the easy part; waiting while the sweet smell fills your kitchen is where the real challenge lies.
