What is fried ice cream?
In the classic version, fried ice cream is a mixture of natural ingredients (yogurt or cream), which is prepared on the freezer. The cooking process takes no more than 2 - 4 minutes.
The confectioner pours a thin layer of the milk mixture on the surface, which instantly freezes. Then, using special metal spatulas, it begins to crumble the resulting mass. After splitting it into 3 wide strips and twisting each into an ice-cream roll.
To enhance the taste, you can add various ingredients to such a dessert: chocolate, fruits, nuts, corn sticks and other goodies.
Since a freezer for fried ice cream is quite difficult to buy (its cost ranges from 80,000 rubles), some chefs have finalized the recipe and added special flavor notes to it. They offered to really fry ice cream. But how does it not melt during cooking? The secret lies in a special breading, or batter.
