Life As A Clayton: Ice Cream Bread

I couldn't believe it when I first read it.

Ice Cream Bread.

But it's true! It wasn't an April Fool's Day joke. It was a real, legitimate recipe.

Not only was the name amazing, but it looked SUPER EASY to make! So, I just HAD to give it a try! And it turned out awesome! So here it is!

Apparently you can pick any flavour you want. The recipe I read used Pralines & Cream. One woman in the comments used a Butterscotch Ripple. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination! I went and picked up a Maple Crunch to try.

So, measure out 2 cups of ice cream and let it soften.

While you're waiting, you can grease a cake loaf pan.

Or paint your toenails.

Or watch Hoarders. Whatever you feel like. This is a pretty casual, feel-good recipe.

Ah! Nice and soft now!

Now you just need 1 and a half cups of self-rising flour. Believe it or not, I already had this in my cupboard. I love baking products!

But if you're not a random kitchen product collector like I am, don't fret. You don't need to run to the store. To make this yourself, just add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each 1 cup of regular flour. This is probably more economical anyway than buying fancy pastry flour.

Put your 1 and a half cups of fancy flour or self-made flour mix in a bowl.

Add the softened ice cream into it.

And mix!

When it's mixed well, pat yourself on the back. It also surprised me how much the consistency was like a normal batter. And just two ingredients! Who knew?
