This cherry amaretto bread loaf is yeast based and made with melted ice cream!
Jump to Recipe
Told ya, that I used some of the icecream in breads too. Well here is one yeast bread loaf made with melted ice cream! The icecream gives it a mild flavor and as most of my mildly sweeet breads works great for French Toasts(recipe included)! Breakfast should be fun and simple with a few new twists every now and then.:) The flavor can be enhanced with some added cherries and amaretto extract or liquor.
This yeast bread Loaf is made with melted So Delicious Cherry Amaretto Almond Milk icecream. Its a perfect Loaf to get everyone to eat more whole grain without knowing it. An icecream bread will always be picked up before a plain wheat loaf 🙂
It has a mild taste of the Cherry Amaretto ice cream and tastes best toasted. Add chopped up cherries when cherries are in season for a cherry filled loaf. Both the coconut milk and almond milk versions of the ice cream will work. This bread is soy free. Use other icecreams for variations:)

- Knead into a soft dough. The dough should be soft and well formed. It will be sticky because of the icecream, but not because of excess wetness.
