How to Make Deep Fried Ice Cream

Prepare the ice cream: Scoop your favorite ice cream into 1-inch balls. Freeze them for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Prepare the breading station: In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs (lightly whisked), and breadcrumbs. You may wish to add spices to the flour or breadcrumbs such as cinnamon or nutmeg.
Bread the ice cream balls: Gently roll each ice cream ball in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, dip it in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, roll it thoroughly in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Freeze the breaded ice cream: Place the breaded ice cream balls back in the freezer for another 30 minutes to fully set the breading. This step is crucial for preventing melting during frying.
Heat the oil: In a deep saucepan or deep fryer, heat about 3 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Fry the ice cream: Carefully place the frozen ice cream balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 15-20 seconds per side, or until the breading is golden brown and crispy.
Drain and serve: Remove the fried ice cream balls with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately, while still warm on the outside and cold on the inside. Garnish with your favorite toppings like chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and cherries.
Enjoy your delightful Deep Fried Ice Cream!
