Easy Fried Ice Cream without the Deep Fry!

Several months ago, I went to a local Mexican restaurant for dinner and finished with i of my favorite desserts, fried ice foam. As I sat at that place slowly savoring each seize with teeth and all of the delicious flavors it had to offering, I really thought nearly fried ice cream and asked myself, what is the purpose of frying it if y'all really are only frying the coating?

And yes, I'm certain some of you are sitting there saying, wait, fried water ice foam is really fried in hot oil (no worries, that amazing reality hitting me once upon a time as well). Well, I thought, I'm going to try a cheater's fried ice cream.

This homemade fried ice cream has everything the normal version has to offer, but it lacks all the irksome steps, lengthy prep times and oily mess that comes along with the real deal. I decided to try just frying (more of sauteing really) the corn bit coating and then rolling the water ice cream in the coating.

Plus, butter vs. oil, that'southward a no brainer! Butter tastes way better so I went with butter instead for the sauteing.

I promise you lot have a risk to try this shortly, especially if you've been scared away from preparing fried ice cream at home due to its frying method. You'll love this deliciously indulgent, easy to make dessert!
