What To Do With Leftover Ice Cream

By Chef Yadira

You are cleaning out the freezer and found ice cream that has been there for God knows how long. Wait – don’t throw it out! How about making bread?


Leave the ice cream out on the counter until it melts. Measure the amount of the liquid and add 3/4 cups of self-rising flour for every 1 cup of melted ice cream. Mix both ingredients together and place in a buttered loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees. Insert a toothpick and make sure if comes out clean.


NOTE: if you do not have self-rising flour, then substitute with 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt


If you are not into baking, then how about making French toast? Soak the slices of bread in the melted ice cream. Place onto a skillet or griddle and cook on each side until desired brownness. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
