Fried Ice Cream
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup of cornflakes, crushed
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Honey or chocolate syrup, for drizzling (optional)
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Using an ice cream scoop, form 4 large scoops of vanilla ice cream and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of crushed cornflakes, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- In another shallow dish, beat 2 eggs.
- Remove the frozen ice cream scoops from the freezer. Roll each scoop in the cornflake mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and roll it again in the cornflake mixture to coat evenly. Place the coated ice cream scoops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
- In a deep saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully lower the coated ice cream scoops into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for about 15-20 seconds, or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Drizzle with honey or chocolate syrup, if desired, and top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Fried ice cream is a delectable dessert that combines the contrasting textures of crispy and creamy. Its origins are debated, with claims from both Mexico and the United States. Some believe it was first created in the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, while others credit Mexican cuisine. This indulgent treat is made by encasing a scoop of ice cream in a crunchy coating, then quickly deep-frying it to create a warm, crispy shell around the cold ice cream. Chefs and restaurants across the globe have put their own spin on this dish, with variations in the coating and toppings. Today, the best versions can be found in authentic Mexican restaurants, where the dish is often served with a drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce. The key to a perfect fried ice cream lies in achieving a crispy exterior while keeping the ice cream frozen. It's a delightful dessert that offers a unique blend of flavors and textures, making it a must-try for any food enthusiast.
