Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or until it has softened enough to easily stir but not completely melted.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened ice cream with the self-rising flour. Stir the mixture gently until it forms a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread and serve on its own, or with toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
