DEEP-FRIED ICE CREAM

• Heat enough oil to cover the ice cream as it cooks.
• When oil is hot dip ice cream in for 15 seconds or just till lightly browned.

DELICIOUS DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM BALLS

Steps:

• The night before you want to make this, take the ice cream and scoop it into balls, making sure they are solid with no air pockets.
• Place them in a shallow pan, lined with wax paper, that you can put into the freezer.
• Freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours.
• Next, combine the crushed cornflakes, sugar and cinnamon in a large ziplock bag.
• Put the beaten eggs into a bowl.
• Take the ice cream balls and coat them as best you can with the cornflake mixture.
• Then dip the whole thing into the egg mixture and re-coat it with cornflakes, making sure the whole ball is well covered.
• Return to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• When you are ready for the final step, use a good deep fryer, and heat it to a fairly high temperature.
• Remove one ice cream ball from the freezer and drop into the hot vegetable oil for about 30 seconds, or until it just begins to brown.
• Take it out of the oil and put in a bowl to serve.
• You can top it with your favourite ingredients like chocolate sauce, whipped cream or cherries--or all three!
• The shell should be cooked and crunchy, and the inside will still be frozen!

• Shape each tortilla into hourglass form (with narrow waist) by cutting off curved slice from 2 opposite sides. One end will serve as base for ice cream. Other end will be decorative fan.
• Heat oil in wok or large deep?fryer. Place tortilla between 2 ladles or large spoons of different sizes (smaller ladle on top). Place tortilla so that base end is cupped in larger ladle to form basket, with back of upper fan supported by handle of larger ladle. Deep?fry until crisp. Drain and sprinkle with cinnamon?sugar. Set aside.
• Deep?fry frozen coated ice cream balls 30 to 45 seconds. Place each fried tortilla in large?stemmed glass, with fan part of tortilla standing vertically above glass. Set fried ice cream ball in base of tortilla. Top with dollop of whipped cream and decorate with cherry.

DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place a plate or sheet pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Using a large ice cream scoop, make balls of ice cream and place them on the sheet pan then return them to the freezer.
• Cut the crusts off the sliced bread and using about 2 slices per ice cream ball, form the bread around the ice cream using your hands to pack it like a snow ball.
• This works best if you turn 1 piece of the bread so that it is not directly over the other, so that you have 8 corners, like a star.
• Once it's completely covered return it to the freezer.
• If some ice cream melts through the edge, just wipe it off.
• In a medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of canola oil to 365 degrees F.
• Drop the covered ice cream balls, one at a time, into the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally so they color evenly, until golden brown on all sides.
• Remove from oil and briefly drain on paper towels.
• Stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
• Coat fried ice cream in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Serve immediately.
• I like it drizzled with caramel or chocolate fudge sauce.
