Instructions

Prepare the Ice Cream Rolls

Cut the crusts off the bread slices and gently flatten them with a rolling pin.
Place a scoop of ice cream in the center of one bread slice. Top with another bread slice, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Repeat with the remaining ice cream and bread.
Wrap the assembled ice cream rolls in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

Fry the Ice Cream Rolls

Pour the vegetable oil into a wok or deep-fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
Carefully place the frozen ice cream rolls into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the fryer.
Remove the fried ice cream rolls from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Finish and Serve

Immediately sprinkle the fried ice cream rolls with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Fried Ice Cream

Use high-quality ice cream: The flavor of the ice cream will be the star of the show, so opt for a rich and creamy vanilla.
Don't overcrowd the fryer: Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy breading. Fry in batches if necessary.
Adjust frying time: The frying time may vary depending on the size of your ice cream rolls and the heat of your oil. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Serve immediately: Fried ice cream is best enjoyed immediately after frying, while the contrast between the hot crust and cold ice cream is at its peak.
