Make Deep Fried Ice Cream

Yummy! This delectable treat will tingle your taste buds! Here's an excellent method of making deep-fried ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 pint ice cream (any flavor)
  • 2 eggs (for egg wash)
  • Either 3-5 cups crushed Corn Flakes cereal, or a loaf of white bread (depending on how crunchy or soft you want the coating to be)
  • Canola oil (for deep-frying)

Steps

  1. Scoop the ice cream. Using an ice cream scooper, place 7-10 scoops of ice cream on a tray an inch apart.
  2. Place scoops of ice cream in the freezer. After scooping the ice cream, place them in the freezer to harden for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Prepare your egg wash. Mix two eggs together to make the egg wash.
  4. Heat oil. Fill a deep-frying pan with{{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} Canola oil. Heat it to 375 degrees. Heat the oil while your ice cream is freezing so it won't melt while you're waiting for the oil to heat up.
  5. Coat the ice cream scoops with egg wash. After 20-30 minutes, remove ice cream from freezer and coat them with the egg wash.
  6. Coat the ice cream scoops' outer layer. After you have coated the ice cream scoops with egg wash, cover them with the crushed corn flakes or bread. Roll the ice cream around in it until the ice cream is completely covered. If you are using white bread, rip off strips of the bread and cover the ice cream scoops.
  7. Deep-fry the ice cream scoops. Now that the ice cream scoops are covered with corn flakes or bread, you can start deep-frying them. To test if the oil is hot, take an ice cream scoop and touch it to the oil. If the oil sizzles, it's ready. Gently place your ice cream scoops in the oil for 5-8 seconds.
  8. Remove the deep-fried ice cream and place on a paper towel to cool and extract extra oil. Serve and enjoy!
