Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Tempura Ice Cream Delight.
Step 1
Start by slicing your pound cake into medium-sized pieces, perfect for wrapping around a delightful scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Step 2
Take a generous ball of ice cream and carefully envelop it with the pound cake slices, using smaller bits to fill in any gaps for a seamless wrap.
Step 3
Once your ice cream is snugly wrapped, tightly secure each ball in plastic wrap, shaping it into a perfect round.
Step 4
Pop them in the freezer for at least five hours, or even better, let them chill overnight to ensure they’re nice and firm.
Step 5
When you’re ready to fry, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pan until it’s hot and ready for action.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, gently combine chilled sparkling water with flour, then whisk in an egg to create a smooth, luscious batter that will coat your ice cream balls beautifully.
Step 7
Take one frozen ice cream ball out of the freezer at a time, dust it lightly with flour, and dip it into the batter, making sure it’s fully covered.
Step 8
Now comes the fun part! Carefully lower the coated ice cream ball into the hot oil and fry it for about 25 seconds, or until it turns a gorgeous golden brown.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to lift it out of the oil, letting any excess oil drip off.
Step 10
Serve your warm, crispy treat immediately, drizzling it with rich chocolate syrup before the ice cream has a chance to melt.
Step 11
Enjoy this indulgent dessert that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
