Tips:

  • Use high-quality ice cream. The better the ice cream, the better the tempura-fried ice cream will be. Choose a flavor that you enjoy and that will hold up well to being fried.
  • Freeze the ice cream well before frying. This will help it to keep its shape and prevent it from melting too quickly. Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Use a light batter. A heavy batter will weigh down the ice cream and make it difficult to fry. Use a batter made with flour, cornstarch, eggs, and water.
  • Fry the ice cream in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy coating on the outside of the ice cream. Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the ice cream.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the ice cream will not cook evenly. Fry the ice cream in small batches so that it has plenty of room to cook.
  • Serve the tempura-fried ice cream immediately. It is best to serve the tempura-fried ice cream as soon as it is cooked. This will prevent the ice cream from melting.

Conclusion:

Tempura-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 tempura-fried ice cream that is crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give tempura-fried ice cream a try.
