Best Deep Fried Ice Cream El Toritos Recipes

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.

• Freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours.
• Next, combine the crushed cornflakes, sugar and cinnamon in a large ziplock bag.

• Then dip the whole thing into the egg mixture and re-coat it with cornflakes, making sure the whole ball is well covered.
