Mexican Fried Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 4 cups (1 litre) vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 3/4 cup (430 ml) Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 3/4 cups (430 ml) quick cooking oatmeal
- Canola oil, for frying
Instructions
- Place a baking sheet in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
- With an ice cream scoop, shape about 14 ice cream balls the size of a large egg. Place on the cold baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
- Place the flour, eggs, crumbs and rolled oats in different bowls. Dredge the ice cream balls into the flour, dip in the eggs, then in the crumbs.
- Once each ball is well coated, freeze for 1 hour. Meanwhile, pass the egg mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps and refrigerate.
- After one hour, remove the ice cream balls from the freezer, dip in the eggs and coat with the rolled oats.
- Freeze again for 1 hour. Filter the eggs and refrigerate. Combine the remaining crumbs and rolled oats.
- Dip the ice cream balls one last time in the eggs, then in the dry ingredients. Freeze for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oil in the deep fryer to 190 °C (375 °F).
- Fry about 4 balls at a time until golden brown, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
