3 Ingredient Hot Chocolate Bread Recipe
Wrap yourself in a warm blanket with a piping hot cup of joe or milk and enjoy some Hot Chocolate Bread!
Prepare yourselves everyone, because this 3 ingredient recipe may blow your mind. It certainly blew our mind when we first heard that such desserts were possible. What is it? Ice cream bread. Yes!All you need to do is combine your favorite ice cream flavor, some flour, and voila!
You’ve got a dense, moist bread that goes perfectly with tea or coffee. And with winter fast approaching, we decided a seasonally flavored bread was in order. This hot chocolate bread recipe is also a creative and fun way to bake with marshmallows. It’s perfect for the rainy or snowy day in when you’re wrapped in warm blankets with a piping hot cup of coffee or milk.
Ingredients Needed
- Hot chocolate ice cream (softened) — Dreyer’s makes our favorite. Serendipity Ice Cream also makes some which can be found at Whole Foods or online at Amazon Fresh. However, you can use any flavor. Dutch chocolate ice cream tastes very similar. The classic chocolate ice cream is just as delicious for this recipe.
- Flour
- Marshmallows
How to Make Hot Chocolate Bread
1 — Start off by preheating the oven to 355 degrees F.
2 — Mix together softened ice cream and flour. It will come off as kind of crumbly, and that is totally fine!
3 — Pour into a greased or lined loaf pan and top off with marshmallows.
4 — Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the edges are pulling away from the sides. And… you’re done!! Easy as cake.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- Don’t overmix the batter: Mix until the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing can result in a denser bread.
- Customize your add-Ins: Add chocolate chips or crushed peppermint for extra flavor and texture. Stir them into the batter before baking for a fun twist.
- Experiment with flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder to the batter for a unique flavor twist.
- Check for doneness: Use a toothpick to test the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, your bread is ready. Be cautious not to overbake, as this can dry out the bread.
- Cool completely before slicing: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the bread set and makes slicing easier.
- Storage tips: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
