Instructions Details:
-
Perfect Scoops: Start by shaping the ice cream scoops into perfect rounds, ensuring they are uniform in size for even frying.
-
-
Freeze the Scoops: Place the shaped scoops of ice cream in the deep freezer for 15 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
-
Egg Wash: Remove the ice cream scoops from the freezer and give them a gentle egg wash, ensuring they are coated evenly.
-
Coat with Corn Flakes: Roll the egg-coated ice cream scoops in the crushed corn flakes, ensuring a generous coating for that crispy texture.
-
Freeze Again: Place the coated ice cream scoops back into the freezer for another 20 minutes to set the coating.
-
Repeat: Repeat the coating process twice to achieve a thicker and crunchier crust.
-
Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat the oil until it’s hot enough for deep frying. Ensure the oil is sufficiently hot to avoid soggy coatings.
-
Fry Quickly: Carefully lower the coated ice cream scoops into the hot oil and fry for a mere 5-8 seconds, ensuring a quick fry to prevent melting.
-
Maintain Hot Oil: It’s crucial to keep the oil at a high temperature to ensure the corn flakes achieve a golden brown color and maintain their crispiness.
-
Flambe with Brandy: For an extra touch of flair, optionally add a splash of brandy or cognac to the hot oil and flambe the deep-fried ice cream right at the table, creating a spectacular visual and flavor experience.
Serving:
- Serve the Deep Fried Ice Cream immediately while it’s hot and crispy, garnished with your favorite toppings like chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, or fresh berries. Enjoy this unique dessert sensation with friends and family!
Chef’s Tips:
- Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil, for frying to avoid imparting unwanted flavors to the dessert.
- Work quickly when frying the ice cream to prevent it from melting too much and losing its shape.
- For added flavor, you can infuse the corn flakes with cinnamon or nutmeg before coating the ice cream.
- Be cautious when flambeing with alcohol, and always do so in a well-ventilated area away from open flames.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors to create your own unique variations of this indulgent dessert.
With this recipe, you’re sure to impress your guests with a delightful combination of creamy ice cream and crispy, golden coating, creating a sensory experience that’s as impressive as it is delicious!
