Tips for making the best Sugar Free Ice Cream Bread

When selecting an ice cream to use, look for a sugar free ice cream that still has a decent fat content. Avoid "ultra-low-cal" or water-heavy diet ice cream as they lack the fat needed to create a tender crumb.

More helpful tips for you.

1. The self rising flour should be scooped into the measuring cup and then leveled off to avoid a dense loaf. When combining the ingredients, mix until just combined or just until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
2. Select a sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar and that can also be baked with. Allulose is particularly great for quick breads because it retains moisture similarly to real sugar, keeping the bread from drying out.
3. Let the bread fully cool before slicing as it needs to properly set.
