Ingredients
Instructions
-
Scoop balls of ice cream onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper using an ice cream scoop for uniform sizes. Place the sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up the ice cream balls.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
-
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
-
Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Quickly dip each ball into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
-
Carefully lower the coated ice cream ball into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the batter is golden brown. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
-
Remove the fried ice cream puffs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or sprinkles.
