Transform your dessert game with this irresistibly unique Ice Cream Cinnamon Raisin Bread! This quick and easy recipe uses melted vanilla ice cream as the secret ingredient to create a rich, moist loaf that's bursting with warm cinnamon spice and chewy raisins in every bite. With just six pantry staples and a short prep time, this no-yeast bread delivers the comforting flavors of homemade baked goods in under an hour. Perfectly soft and fragrant, it's ideal for breakfast, a cozy afternoon snack, or even dessert. Serve it fresh out of the oven with a smear of butter or cream cheese for an indulgent treat that will leave everyone craving more.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a standard loaf pan (9x5-inch) with butter and set it aside.
Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it melt completely in a bowl at room temperature. This usually takes about 20–30 minutes, but you can microwave it in short bursts if needed. Ensure it is liquid but not hot.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
Slowly pour the melted vanilla ice cream into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing, as this could result in a denser bread.
Fold in the raisins evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
