Yield 1 big loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

• 2 pints Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream, softened or melted
• 3 cups (375g) self-rising flour (or 360g AP flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + 1 1/2 teaspoons salt)
Optional mix-ins:
• 1 very ripe banana, chopped
• 1 very delicious chocolate bar (I chose bittersweet), chopped
• Handful of walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C) Grease and flour bread pan, or line with parchment paper. Mix melted ice cream and flour until well combined. Add optional mix-ins. Pour into prepared bread pan. Bake for 1-1.5 hrs. This seems like a lot, but we've essentially made a double loaf in a single pan. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it with aluminum foil and continue to bake. Bread is done when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
