Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Bread Batter
- 2 Cups plus 2 Tablespoons of Andy’s Frozen Custard
- 1 1/2 cups Self Rising Flour
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Blueberries plus a few extras to sprinkle on top
- 1 bottle Goodman’s Lemon Flavoring
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 1/2 can Lemon Frosting
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Place all the ingredients into a large bowl and stir until well combined into a smooth batter. Be sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Prepare Loaf Pan: Line a loaf pan with two pieces of parchment paper, one placed from side to side and the other lengthwise. Ensure there is enough parchment overhanging the edges so you can easily lift the bread out after baking.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. When the top of the bread turns golden brown, tent it with a piece of foil to prevent the surface from burning and continue baking until done.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift the bread out using the parchment paper. Optionally, spread the lemon frosting over the top and sprinkle extra blueberries for garnish before slicing.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Using self-rising flour eliminates the need to add leavening agents separately.
- Tenting the bread with foil after it browns helps prevent over-browning while finishing the bake.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before adding lemon frosting to prevent melting.
- Andy’s Frozen Custard can be substituted with any creamy vanilla ice cream if unavailable.
