Fried ice cream is a unique and indulgent dessert that combines the best of crispy, golden-brown textures with creamy, cold ice cream. This dessert has gained popularity worldwide, often found in Asian cuisines like Mexican and Chinese, but it’s also seen in various adaptations globally.
Ingredients
- Vanilla ice cream (scooped into balls or using a small ice cream scoop)
- Cornflakes or crushed cookies (for coating)
- 2 eggs
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Toppings of your choice (such as whipped cream, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or honey)
Instructions
- Scoop the vanilla ice cream into balls using an ice cream scoop. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them for at least 1 hour or until firm.
- Crush the cornflakes or cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Roll each frozen ice cream ball in the crushed cornflakes or cookies until well coated. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks to the ice cream.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each coated ice cream ball into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated
- Carefully place the coated ice cream balls into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or wire basket. Fry them for about 30-60 seconds or until golden brown.
- Remove the fried ice cream balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately while still hot and crispy, topped with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or honey.
