Method

Prepare the Ice Cream

1

Scoop the Ice Cream

Scoop the vanilla ice cream into balls, about 1/4 cup each. Place the scoops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2

Freeze the Ice Cream

Cover the ice cream balls with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.

Make the Batter

3

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

4

Add Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Coat the Ice Cream

5

Coat with Batter

Dip each frozen ice cream ball into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

6

Roll in Breadcrumbs

Roll the battered ice cream ball in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly, then place back on the baking sheet.

Fry the Ice Cream

Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

8

Fry the Ice Cream

Carefully lower the coated ice cream balls into the hot oil, frying them for about 10-15 seconds until golden brown. Remove them immediately and drain on paper towels.
