Fried Ice Cream Recipe Without Corn Flakes
Introduction
Fried ice cream is a unique and delicious dessert that is usually found in Mexican restaurants. The combination of crispy fried coating and cold, creamy ice cream is not only tasty but also provides a satisfying and contrasting texture. However, most recipes include corn flakes as the coating, which can be a problem for those with a gluten intolerance or simply do not like the taste of corn flakes.
In this article, we will be sharing a recipe for fried ice cream without corn flakes. This recipe is perfect for those who want to create this dessert in the comfort of their own home, with a coating that is both gluten-free and delicious.
Ingredients
The following ingredients are needed for this recipe:
- 1 quart of vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- 1 cup of gluten-free bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Whipped cream and chocolate sauce, for topping (optional)
Make sure to use gluten-free bread crumbs if you are avoiding gluten. You can also use regular bread crumbs if you don't have a gluten intolerance.
Instructions
Follow these steps to create the perfect fried ice cream without corn flakes:
Step 1: Scoop the Ice Cream
Scoop the slightly softened vanilla ice cream into 8 balls, using an ice cream scoop. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 2: Mix the Coating
In a shallow bowl, mix together the gluten-free bread crumbs, sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Step 3: Coat the Ice Cream Balls
Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer and roll each ball in the bread crumb mixture to coat evenly. Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Step 4: Prepare for Frying
In a shallow bowl, mix together the melted butter and beaten egg. Dip each coated ice cream ball into the egg mixture, then roll again in the bread crumb mixture. Place the balls back on the baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 5: Fry the Ice Cream Balls
In a deep fryer or a deep pot, heat up enough vegetable oil to cover the ice cream balls. When the oil is hot (around 375°F), carefully place the coated ice cream balls in the oil and fry for about 15 seconds or until golden brown. Do not overcook, or the ice cream will melt.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the fried ice cream balls from the oil and place them on a serving dish. Optional: top with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
