Fried Ice Cream combines a crispy exterior with a cold, creamy center. Discover how to make this unique and delicious dessert at home!
You'll need ice cream (your choice of flavor), crushed cornflakes or graham crackers, eggs, flour, sugar, and vegetable oil for frying.
Scoop ice cream into balls and freeze for at least 2 hours. Firm ice cream helps maintain shape during frying.
Mix crushed cornflakes or graham crackers with a bit of sugar. Set up a breading station: flour, beaten eggs, and the crumb mixture.
Roll each frozen ice cream ball in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat thoroughly with the crumb mixture. Repeat for a thicker coating.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). This temperature ensures a crispy coating without melting the ice cream.
Carefully place coated ice cream balls into the hot oil. Fry for about 10-15 seconds, just until the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove fried ice cream with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with optional toppings like chocolate sauce or sprinkles.
For extra flavor, mix spices into the crumb coating or add a drizzle of caramel. Experiment with different ice cream flavors for unique twists!
