Easy Fried Ice Cream
Fried ice cream has a debated history, with claims of its origin ranging from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair to Japanese tempura restaurants in the 1960s. The dessert involves freezing ice cream hard, coating it in batter or crumbs, and quickly deep-frying it to create a warm, crispy shell around the cold ice cream. It’s popular in Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican cuisines. This recipe simplifies the process by eliminating the frying process.
