Fried Ice Cream

Step 4Frying

Heat the oil in a pan, attach thermometer. Heat up to 375 degrees. I did some tests using tortillas, they tasted pretty good too. The tortillas also lowered the temperature, so keep that in mind. Take out solid ice cream balls from freezer. Carefully lower into oil with spoon. They cook really fast, make sure to flip them over if your pan is shallow. Take them out when they are a dark golden brown and crispy. Let them cool, and enjoy!
You can add syrup our whipped cream, I just ate them plain.

this would be super expensive but how about frying them in yummy macadamia oil or something?

Mar 13, 2010. 2:58 AMMaldris says:

you say 375 degrees, is that in Fahrenheit or Celsius?

Mar 28, 2010. 11:08 AMSwert says:

Probably Fahrenheit. 375 degrees Celsius would be a bit ridiculous.

How do you know when a frying pan is 375 degrees tho?...

Sep 13, 2010. 9:19 AMSwert says:

Its not the pan that is 375 degrees, its the oil. And you buy a thermometer. I'm not sure if you can use a candy thermometer but you definitely want to get one built specifically for this sort of thing.

Would olive oil or vegetable oil work?

Oct 3, 2009. 2:14 PMqballcat says:

olive would be disgusting :D but veggi is perfect

Oct 3, 2009. 2:03 PMredbuddies says:

Olive oil will carbonize. Veggie is good.

Sounds cool. Will try it out this weekend. Do you have any recommendation on how to keep the oil from spitting out?

larger pan perhaps, I tried to make sure there weren't any ice crystals too

Do they stay cold and frozen on the inside? or is it all warm?

Oct 1, 2009. 11:25 PMsleepingkills (author) says:

No its still cold inside, but with a slightly warm crust.

Quick Question: After frying, you say to let it cool down.... should I immediately put them back into the freezer to cool?

Oct 1, 2009. 11:23 PMsleepingkills (author) says:

They should cool pretty fast with the cold center, but you only have to wait till its safe to put in your mouth. I have burnt the roof of my mouth on other goodies.

easy instructions ,I tried it but my melted and turned into a mess! I think i did not left them in the freezer long enough! but I will be careful next time! thank you!

Overnight was my best bet. Came out perfectly. I took tortilla chips (unflavored, made by me) and crushed some up in the "breading" and i added lots and lots of cinnamon and brown sugar into the breading.
