The key to frying ice cream without it melting is to work quickly. You'll need to have everything set up and ready to go before you start frying, because once the ice cream hits the hot oil, it will start to melt immediately. Here are a few tips to help you fry your ice cream: - Use a deep-fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot. Fill it with oil and heat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure the oil is fresh and don't let it get too hot or it will burn the outside. - Scoop the ice cream into balls using an ice cream scoop. Work quickly so the ice cream doesn't start to melt then, place the ice cream balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before frying them, but it is best to freeze for 1-2 hours before frying. - If you don't have egg or prefer not to use it on this, you can coat the balls in a mixture of cornstarch and water. This will help them to stay together when they hit the hot oil. - Fry the ice cream balls in batches. Don't crowd the pan, or the temperature of the oil will drop and the ice cream will melt. - Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. This is one dessert you will prepare and everyone will get theirs at slightly different times because you don't want it to melt before they get to it. That's okay, it's part of the fun of this recipe.
