Ingredients
In order to make this delicious and viral TikTok Chocolate Ice Cream Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
- chocolate full-fat ice cream, softened (almost melted)
- self-rising flour
- optional: vanilla ice cream or any favorite ice cream flavors, softened (I used it to create the vanilla swirl through the ice cream bread), chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles
Once you have gathered all of the ingredients, you will also need a 9×5 inch loaf pan and some parchment paper.
Step by Step Instructions
- Remove the chocolate and vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften a bit before scooping 2 cups of ice cream and place it in separate bowls to get really soft, almost melted, if you have enough time (could take about 15-20 minutes) Microwave ice cream for about 10 seconds to soften if you are short of time.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350°F/ 180C and spray a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray, then add the parchment paper and cut it into shape to properly fit the pan.
- 3. Combine 2 cups chocolate ice cream with 1 and 1/4 cup self-rising flour and fold together gently with a wooden spoon or a spatula. I don’t recommend using hand mixers because the ice cream gets caught in the middle too easily and it will not combine well. Repeat the process for the vanilla ice cream if you want to have a swirl ice cream bread.
- 4. Pour the chocolate bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Add the vanilla ice cream batter on top and then swirl with a knife to combine them
- 5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Tips and Tricks for Making the Perfect Ice Cream Bread
- Use high-quality full-fat regular ice cream, as this will make the bread richer and creamier. The better the quality of the ice cream, the better the bread will taste.
- Let the ice cream soften, almost to melting point. Almost melted ice cream will make it easier to mix and ensure a more even texture.
- Use self-rising flour. Self rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, which is essential for the bread to rise properly. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Experiment with mix-ins. Ice cream bread is versatile and can be customized with different mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit. Fold in your desired mix-ins at the end of the mixing process.
- Bake at the right temperature. Bake the bread at 350°F/ 180C for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Don’t be tempted to increase the temperature or cooking time, as this can result in an overcooked and dry bread.
- Let it cool. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent it from breaking apart and ensure a more even texture.
Variations on this TikTok viral Recipe
- There are many ways to make Chocolate Ice Cream Bread, but the most popular recipe is the traditional version. I have made a chocolate and vanilla swirl bread this time, but if you want to change up the traditional recipe, you can add different ice cream flavorings – mint, strawberry. You can also add nuts or dried fruit to the dough for an extra bit of flavor and texture.
- If you want a truly unique Chocolate Ice Cream Bread, you can always add your own personal touches. Perhaps you have a favorite ice cream flavor that you’d like to incorporate into the bread. Or maybe you want to top your bread with a special sauce or frosting. Whatever you do, have fun and be creative!
How to Store Ice Cream Bread
To store ice cream bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. If you want to keep it for longer, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If you’ve added any fresh fruit or other perishable ingredients to the bread, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage. The bread may become slightly denser when stored in the refrigerator, but it will still be delicious.
Before serving the bread, you can warm it up in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to restore its freshness and soften the texture. Enjoy your delicious ice cream bread!
What Can You Make with any Leftovers?
Ice cream bread is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many ways. Here are some ideas for what you can make with ice cream bread if you have any leftovers:
- French toast: Use slices of ice cream bread to make French toast for a decadent breakfast or brunch. Could be a great addition to your Easter brunch

- Ice cream sandwich: Cut slices of ice cream bread into rounds and sandwich them with a scoop of ice cream for a unique twist on a classic dessert.
- Trifle: Layer cubes of ice cream bread with whipped cream and fruit in a trifle dish for a fancy and delicious dessert.
These are just a few ideas, but the possibilities are endless. With some creativity, you can use ice cream bread as a base for various desserts and snacks.
