Fried tempura ice cream
Fried tempura ice cream is a delicious dessert where a ball of ice cream is coated in tempura batter and then quickly deep-fried until the outer shell is crispy while the ice cream inside remains cold and creamy. It's a unique and tasty treat that combines the textures of crispy and creamy.
Ingredients
- 4 scoops ice cream your favorite, (flavors like vanilla, green tea, or mango work well)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch salt
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works best)
Optional toppings:
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the scoops of ice cream on it. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, egg, sugar, and salt. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should have a thin consistency.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Remove the ice cream scoops from the freezer and quickly dip each scoop into the tempura batter, making sure it is completely coated.
- Carefully place the coated ice cream into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for about 30-60 seconds or until the tempura coating is golden brown. Do not overcrowd the fryer - fry one or two scoops at a time.
- Remove the fried ice cream from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot. You can drizzle honey, chocolate sauce, or top with whipped cream and fruit for extra flavor.
- Enjoy!
