Tempura Ice Cream Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ice Cream
Scoop the ice cream into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and then gradually add the ice-cold water, stirring until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the ice cream.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Ice Cream
Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer and dip each ball into the tempura batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Ice Cream
Carefully place the battered ice cream balls into the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 30 seconds until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Dust the tempura ice cream with powdered sugar and serve immediately with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and chopped nuts if desired.
