Ingredients
Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 | pint ice cream, any flavor |
| 1 | loaf sliced white bread, crusts removed |
| 6 | to 8 cups canola oil, for frying |
| 1 | cup sugar |
| 2 | teaspoons cinnamon |
Instructions
Preparation | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Place a plate or sheet pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 1 hour or overnight. |
| 2. | Using a large ice cream scoop, make balls of ice cream and place them on the sheet pan then return them to the freezer. |
| 3. | 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 snowball. This works best if you turn 1 piece of the bread so that it is not directly over the other, so that you have 8 corners, like a star. Once it's completely covered, return it to the freezer. |
Frying | |
| 1. | In a medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of canola oil to 365 degrees F. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | Remove from oil and briefly drain on paper towels. |
Finishing Touches and Serving | |
| 1. | Stir together the sugar and cinnamon. |
| 2. | Coat fried ice cream in the cinnamon sugar mixture. |
| 3. | Serve immediately. For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle with caramel or chocolate fudge sauce. |
