Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard loaf pan (8.5×4.5×2.5 or 9x5x3) with parchment paper or spray well with baking spray, set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the soft ice cream and flour until there are no dry patches.
2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 ⅓ cup self-rising flour
Add half of the sprinkles and fold them in to combine.
¾ cup rainbow sprinkles
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
Pour the rest of the sprinkles on top evenly.
Bake for 33-38 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. A few crumbs stuck to the toothpick are okay, but if there is any wet batter it needs to bake longer.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, cut, and serve.
Notes
Use Full-Fat Ice Cream: For the best texture and flavor, always use full-fat ice cream.
Let the Ice Cream Soften: Make sure the ice cream is very soft or even melted for easier mixing.
Don’t Overmix: Stir the ingredients just until combined to keep the bread tender.
Try Different Flavors: Experiment with different ice cream flavors to find your favorite combo.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle extra toppings on the bread before baking for added texture and flavor.
Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check if the bread is done baking. It should come out clean with just a few crumbs.
