Fried Cream Recipes

DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place a plate or sheet pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Using a large ice cream scoop, make balls of ice cream and place them on the sheet pan then return them to the freezer.
• Cut the crusts off the sliced bread and using about 2 slices per ice cream ball, form the bread around the ice cream using your hands to pack it like a snow ball. Once it's completely covered return it to the freezer.
• In a medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of canola oil to 365 degrees F. Drop the covered ice cream balls, one at a time, into the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally so they color evenly, until golden brown on all sides. Remove from oil and briefly drain on paper towels. Stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Coat fried ice cream in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve immediately.

FRIED ICE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place six scoops of ice cream , about 3 inches in diameter, on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until very firm.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs, coconut, and cinnamon.
• Roll the frozen ice cream balls in the crumb mixture. Place them back on the baking sheet and freeze again for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining crumb mixture for the next steps.
• In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar until foamy.
• Dip the coated ice cream balls into the egg mixture, then roll again in the reserved crumb mixture, coating completely. Freeze again for 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill a medium bowl or plate in the refrigerator.
• When ready to fry, heat about 3-inches of oil in a medium heavy-duty saucepan to 375 F. Set the chilled plate next to the pan. Remove one ball of ice cream at a time from the freezer. Quickly dip into the hot oil until the coating turns crisp and brown, 8 to 10 seconds.
• Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place on the chilled plate. Repeat with the remaining ice cream balls. Serve immediately with a drizzle of sauce, if desired.

CREMA FRITTI (FRIED CREAM) - LIDIA BASTIANICH

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, sugar and salt.
• Heat milk to almost simmering. Whisking constantly, add flour-sugar mixture. Cook 5-6 minutes, until thick.
• Beat egg yolks and vanilla. Add hot pudding, 1/4 cup at a time, until egg yolks are hot to the touch. Pour egg yolk mixture into pot and whisk vigorously over heat 2-3 minutes. It should be quite thick; thicker than a typical pudding.
• Pour cream into ungreased quarter-sheet pan and spread out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap (press plastic down to touch the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate until set and very cold, 3-4 hours or up to overnight.
• Dip a butter knife in hot water and run it along the inner rim of the pan to loosen the cream. Invert the pan onto your cutting board to release the cream. Trim edges if necessary and cut cream into diamond shapes.
• Place flour in a wide dish. In a second dish, beat eggs and a pinch of salt. Place breadcrumbs in a third dish. Dredge cream pieces in flour, then dip into egg, then into breadcrumbs.
• In a skillet, pour oil 1/4-1/2" deep. Heat oil until it almost shimmers. Fry pieces in hot oil until golden brown, turning once, about 3-5 minutes per side.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle fried cream with cinnamon sugar as they come out of the pan. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve plain or with jam, marmalade or chocolate sauce, if desired.
