Ice Cream Bread
Teresa Bjork, O’Brien County

Ingredients: 
2 c. melted vanilla ice cream
1-1/4 c. self-rising flour
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 9x13 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine ice cream and flour using a spatula or dough whisk. Pour batter into prepared pan. Hold pan with both hands and tap hard against a sturdy flat surface to get rid of any air bubbles. Bake 35 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool 15 minutes. Cut into six 1-1/2 inch slices with a serrated knife. Tips: Don’t have self-rising flour? Use 1-1/4 c. all purpose flour mixed with 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/8 tsp. salt. You can also swap out the vanilla ice cream for any flavor you like! Recipe adapted from “The Unofficial TikTok Cookbook.”
