Fried Pickle Ice Cream Recipes

FRIED PICKLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• For the fried pickle ice cream: Add the pickle chips and spears, cream, oil, eggs, salt and creamer into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a tabletop ice cream machine and process for 20 minutes. Then transfer to an airtight container to freeze overnight.
• For the burgers: Put some dry ice on a baking sheet and another baking sheet on top. Once the ice cream is frozen, scoop it onto the top baking sheet and squash the scoop down with a spatula to make a puck shape about the size of the cheeseburgers. Place in the freezer and freeze overnight.
• Fill a tabletop fryer to the recommended level of oil and heat until the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
• Once ready to prepare the burgers, dredge each ice cream puck in flour, egg wash and breadcrumbs.
• Fry the ice cream pucks, as many as will fit at a time, until golden brown and delicious, about 1 minute.
• Place a puck on top of each burger and enjoy.

NO-CHURN PICKLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan in the freezer to chill.
• Pulse the pickles and brine in the carafe of a blender, then blend until pureed, about 1 minute. Strain the puree and discard any pulp. You should have about 1/3 cup pickle liquid.
• Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and pickle liquid to the cream cheese and continue to mix until smooth.
• Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined; this lightens it and allows the mixture to stay fluffy. Fold this lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into the chilled loaf pan and freeze, covered, until scoopable, about 5 hours. Serve with sprinkles if desired.

FRIED ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Scoop ice cream into 8 - 1/2 cup sized balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• In a shallow dish, combine cornflakes and cinnamon. In another dish, beat egg whites until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then in cornflakes, covering ice cream completely. Repeat if necessary. Freeze again until firm, 3 hours.
• In deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Using a basket or slotted spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time, for 10 to 15 seconds, until golden. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve immediately.
