Fried Ice Cream Aka Crispy Coconut Dessert image

My SIL makes this and we all LOVE it! She usually tops it with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It is SO good with the crispy cereal, crunchy coconuts, and creamy ice cream! Prep time is the active time it takes to make the dessert and the cooking time is the freezing time.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups coconut
1 cup pecans
1/2 gallon vanilla, softened

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Tips:

Use high-quality ice cream. The better the ice cream, the better the fried ice cream will be. Look for ice cream that is made with fresh, natural ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture.
Freeze the ice cream well. The ice cream needs to be frozen solid before you fry it. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from melting too quickly.
Use a light breading. A heavy breading will weigh down the ice cream and make it difficult to fry. Instead, use a light breading made with flour, cornstarch, and sugar.
Fry the ice cream in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to quickly fry the ice cream without burning it. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Fry the ice cream in batches so that it has enough room to cook evenly.
Serve the fried ice cream immediately. Fried ice cream is best served immediately after it is fried. This will prevent it from melting and becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Fried ice cream is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make fried ice cream that is just as good as anything you would find at a restaurant. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give fried ice cream a try!
