How many interesting things do modern chefs come up with to surprise the public. There is molecular cuisine, and all kinds of jelly multilayer cakes - which is just not there! And so today we will analyze one of the wonderful recipes that everyone wants to try, but for some reason they are afraid to cook.
It's fried ice cream, paradoxically isn't it? But do not laugh and consider this dish complete stupidity, because having cooked it once, you certainly can not stop.
History reference
The origin of ice cream dates back to the distant times of kings and queens, when nobility used to treat guests with exquisite ice drinks, which were brought to a state of crystallization. It was always something luxurious and elegant, so that undoubtedly amazed guests would gladly mention the name of a generous owner.
In our time, everything has long changed, and ice cream has become an ordinary dessert that can be prepared at home or, most simply, bought at any supermarket. But if we talk about its "modification", then fried ice cream appeared relatively recently, but it spread very well in the circles of the holiday industry.
Variety of sprinkles
If we continue to develop the theme of this dish, it turns out that it is a cold melting filling inside and a crispy fried shell on the outside.
So, the mix for fried ice cream can be completely different. For example, you can choose it based on the sauce and type of ice cream that you are going to combine.
But in most cases, people opt for corn flakes (they are pre-crushed to fine powder in a combine), ordinary flour and coconut flakes. You can also experiment with sesame seeds or nut powder.
The main thing is that in any case, fried ice cream, the recipe of which we will soon analyze, will be delicious. So you can choose your favorite option.
Ingredients for Fried Ice Cream
- Packing ice cream. In this case, options in cups or horns will not work, so stop on briquettes. As for the taste, it depends only on your choice!
- A few eggs. Their number depends on how many servings of ice cream you want to make.
- Sprinkle. You can read more about it in the previous paragraph.
- Vegetable oil. It will need a lot of it to evenly cook fried ice cream.
- Chocolate / caramel sauce / condensed milk.
Stage One: Preparation
In order to prepare fried ice cream, the recipe of which is easier than you think, it is necessary to perform several necessary points, so that in the future the work could go without haste:
- We send the ice cream to the freezer so that it freezes well there.
- We lay out all the sprinkles on large plates so that they lie a few centimeters in a layer.
- Break eggs into a separate container and mix them thoroughly.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a deep pan and bring it to a boil (small bubbles should appear inside).
Stage Two: Ball Formation
When the ice cream has cooled down well, it's time to change its shape. This can be done in several ways, depending on the tools available.
- The first way. If you have a special spoon for ice cream, then it will facilitate the process of creating balls. To do this, grab it and scoop it up, putting on gloves in advance. Then roll the ball in your hands, quickly transfer it to the breaded bowl, carefully covering the entire surface, then into the egg, and then again into the breading. After several layers, the ball should be wrapped in foil and sent to the freezer for a while, so that it solidifies properly.
- The second way. But if you do not have such a spoon, then do not worry, because you can cope without it. To do this, simply cut a small block of ice cream and, taking it in your hands (gloves), quickly begin to form a ball out of it, and then repeat the same steps with sprinkling as in the previous method. After that, also wrap the ice cream in foil and send it to freeze.
Stage Three: Frying Ice Cream
Now only the simplest thing remains: fry the balls before serving. Therefore, do not rush to do this, but rather wait for the guests and bring this simple dish to the ideal with them.
- When the oil is sufficiently warmed up, simply lower the ball of ice cream and fry evenly on both sides for several seconds. It is best if the oil level corresponds to half the ball, which will facilitate your cooking process. Also do not forget that you need to fry only a thin shell of breading and eggs, and not all in general.
- Put the finished fried ice cream on a paper towel to drain excess oil from its surface.
Finishing touches
Honestly, dessert can already be served on the table to please guests, stopping at the previous paragraph. But if you want to achieve the maximum effect from the dish, then find out how to make fried ice cream more attractive.
To do this, nothing at all, melt some chocolate with a little butter, and then pour them a dessert ball. In fact, anything can be in place of chocolate, for example, caramel sauce, syrup or jam.
Top with ice cream can be garnished with whipped cream and sprinkled with chopped nuts, coconut flakes or confectionery sprinkles (if it is intended for a children's holiday).
In addition, fried ice cream goes well with fresh berries and fruits, which will only emphasize the elegance and originality of the dish!
