How To Make Air Fryer Ice Cream Bread

Softened ice cream in a bowl, ready to be mixed for bread

Step One: Begin by softening the ice cream until it’s easy to stir. Let it sit at room temperature or microwave in short bursts, stirring between intervals until melted. Pick your favorite flavor to give the bread a personalized taste.

Mixing melted ice cream with self-rising flour to form smooth batter

Step Two: In a large bowl, mix the melted ice cream with the self-rising flour until smooth and just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or the bread may turn out dense.

Step Three: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) if needed. While it warms, pour the batter into a greased baking pan that fits your air fryer—loaf pans work best, but double-check the size first.

Step Four: Carefully place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and pan size.

Step Five: Once done, carefully remove the pan from the air fryer and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Air Fryer Ice Cream Bread Recipe Tips

  • Use Slightly Softened Ice Cream: Makes it easier to mix into a smooth batter.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Stir just until combined to keep the bread tender.
  • Check Pan Fit: Make sure your baking pan fits comfortably in your air fryer basket.
  • Customize Flavors: Any ice cream flavor works—try chocolate, strawberry, or cookies and cream.
  • Test Doneness: Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Storing Instructions

  • Room Temperature: Cool completely and store covered for up to 1 day.
  • Refrigerate: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze up to 1 month; thaw at room temperature before serving.
