Method
Directions
Prepare the Ice Cream
Scoop the vanilla ice cream into 4 equal balls and place them on a plate. Freeze them for at least 1 hour until firm.
Make the Tempura Batter
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ice-cold water until smooth. The batter should be thick yet pourable.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Coat the Ice Cream
Remove the ice cream from the freezer. Quickly dip each ball of ice cream into the tempura batter, making sure they are completely coated.
Fry the Ice Cream
Carefully place the battered ice cream balls into the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Dust the fried ice cream with powdered sugar. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and serve with fresh strawberries on the side.
