Deep-Fried Ice Cream Balls

Created by ImPat on February 6, 2020

Step 1: Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2: Process cake to make fine crumbs and place cake crumbs in a large bowl.
Step 3: Working quickly, roll ice-cream scoops in crumbs to coat evenly and place on prepared tray and reserve leftover cruambs.
Step 4: Freeze ice cream balls for 30 minutes or until firm.
Step 5: Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl and dip balls in egg, then in reserved cake crumbs to coat and pat firmly to secure and then return to prepared tray.
Step 6: Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm and repeat coating and freezing sequence with remaining egg and dried breadcrumbs.
Step 7: Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over moderately high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil) and deep-fry balls, in batches, for 1 minute or until golden brown.
Step 8: Using a slotted spoon. transfer balls to paper towels to drain and serve at once with topping and fruit.
Step 9: NOTE - You can use any plain un-iced cake for crumbs. Ice cream balls must be frozen solid before you fry them or ice-cream will leak into hot oil and splatter.
