Indulge in crispy tempura ice cream: frozen ice cream balls in pound cake, fried to perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 ounce) prepared pound cake
  • 1 (32 ounce) container LACTAID® Vanilla Ice Cream
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or more as needed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 cup sparkling water, chilled
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Chocolate syrup
Instructions:
  • Slice the pound cake into medium-sized pieces.
  • Wrap a ball of ice cream with cake slices until completely covered, using smaller pieces to patch any gaps.
  • Shape the balls into a round shape by wrapping them tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pan until shimmering.
  • Slowly pour chilled sparkling water into the flour, whisk in the egg to form a smooth batter.
  • Take one ice cream ball out of the freezer at a time. Dust it with flour. Dip it into batter, ensuring it's completely coated. Submerge the coated ice cream ball into hot oil, fry until golden, approximately 25 seconds. Take it out using a slotted spoon.
  • Drizzle with chocolate sauce before the ice cream starts to melt for a decadent finishing touch!
