How do you make deep fried ice cream?
Deep fried ice cream is a decadent dessert that is deceptively easy to make. This rich and attractive dessert is often a menu staple at Mexican restaurants but will complement any type of cuisine. If you choose to use homemade ice cream rather than store-bought, make sure the ice cream is very firm. Traditional toppings are cinnamon and honey but can you use any type of confection you like. Place a cookie sheet in the freezer for several hours before you begin to make the deep fried ice cream. Using a cool pan will prevent the ice cream from melting while you are working with it. Use an ice cream scoop to make uniform-sized balls of ice cream. A plain, smooth flavor like vanilla works well for this type of recipe. The ice cream must be very firm in order to form it into balls. Roll the ice cream balls in a dish of plain breadcrumbs or finely crushed cereal flakes until they are completely coated. Place the coated ice cream onto the chilled cookie sheet and put them back into the freeze
