There is a combination of warm outside and cold inside that will leave you speechless. Fried ice cream can easily be prepared at home even if the process is quite lengthy.
Ingredients
- 1 Madeira cake
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 Eggs large
- 1 cup Dry breadcrumbs
- 2 cup Canola oil
For caramel sauce:
- 2/3 cup Cream
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Let’s begin by making the caramel sauce. For this, I recommend using a glass bowl. In a large bowl, combine 2/3 cup of cream, 3 tsp of butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture into a medium-sized saucepan, and heat it over medium heat. Continue stirring for 5 to 7 minutes until all the sugar has dissolved.
- After it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat when it thickens and set it aside.
- For frying, cut the Madeira cake into 8 slices. Place a piece of cake in your hand and top with ice cream.
- Using your hands, shape the cake into a ball around the ice cream after placing the second slice of cake on top.
- Without wasting any time, place it on a shallow plate and place it in the freezer to chill. Freeze the ice cream balls for 2 hours or more.
- Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Spread bread crumbs on a plate. Take the balls out of the freezer and roll them in the whisked egg, then put them back in the freezer.
- Let them stand for 5 minutes after removing them from the fridge. Turn on the heat to high and pour oil into a medium saucepan.
- Add two balls at a time to the hot oil and cook for 1 minute until golden. Using a paper towel, absorb any remaining oil. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the dish for garnish and taste.
