Ice Cream Tempura Ingredients
Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Ice Cream Balls
Scoop the vanilla ice cream into balls using an ice cream scoop. Place the scoops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix and ice cold water. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Batter the Ice Cream
Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the tempura batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Ice Cream
Carefully place the battered ice cream balls into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Fry for 15-30 seconds or until the batter is golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Dust the fried ice cream with powdered sugar and serve immediately with chocolate sauce and chopped nuts, if desired.
