I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream bread!

Who would have thought combining melted ice cream with flour would create a delicious bread? Probably a kid. This bread recipe is as easy as they come and it’s a great way to get your little ones involved in the kitchen. Anything involving ice cream is sure to grab their attention! All you’ll need is flour, ice cream and chocolate chips if you’re feeling extra sweet. Combine these together and you’ll get a loaf that is a cross between bread and cake.

The most important ingredient in this recipe, as you might have guessed, is the ice cream. I opted for the crème de la crème of ice creams, Mitchells! Each flavor of Mitchell’s Ice Cream is like a little taste of Ohio, as each batch is handcrafted in their Ohio City kitchen. They pride themselves on using ingredients that grow well in Ohio, many of which come from local farms. If they need something that doesn’t grow well in our region, then they find where it grows best and they source it from there. You are truly getting the best ice cream when you open up a pint of Mitchell’s.

When it comes to flavors, use the ones you love most. A combination of Mitchell’s Carmel Fudge Brownie and Double Chocolate Chunk was a no brainer for me. These creamy wonders dominate my freezer and break my diets time and time again. You can customize the toppings to pair with the flavor(s) you choose. I’ve made this with butter pecan ice cream and topped it with caramelized pecans. It was excellent!

Now let’s check out the flavor of the day!
