Though there were Taste of Home bakers who doubled the recipe and found success, Ben & Jerry's offered not only a slightly different recipe, but also a few tips to ensure success. Unlike Taste of Home, Ben & Jerry's ice cream bread was made using only flour and two kinds of ice cream. But the key difference between the two bread recipes is that Ben & Jerry's emphasizes the need to completely melt the ice cream before combining it with the flour. The ice cream company even explains that giving the ice cream plenty of time to melt on its own, rather than using a heating element, will improve the results.
The final two tips Ben & Jerry's offered are hallmark baking rules too: Break up any lumps and don't over-mix the dough. Paying attention to the consistency of the batter will make sure no one ends up with a rouge, not-so-tasty lump of flour, per The Kitchn. Avoiding the urge to over-mix the dough will also keep the crumb delicate rather than tough for non-yeasted breads, according to Southern Living.
So, don't hesitate to try making your own loaf of ice cream bread, but keep in mind that technique is necessary with this particular loaf.
