I sometimes go to restaurants that serve Fried Ice Cream. Frying can involve very hot oil or a very hot pan. How does that not melt ice cream? Is it actually fried?
In: Chemistry
You don’t just fry the ice cream. The ice cream is covered in a layer of crunchy bits like oats and crushed corn flakes and such. You start by making ice cream balls, covering them in the crunchies and freezing them to very firm. Then you dip them QUICKLY in the hot oil, which browns the crunchy layer but doesn’t have time to melt the ice cream. Then you add toppings (whipped cream, fruit, chocolate syrup, maraschino cherries, etc) and there you have it.
