Fried Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 1 quart vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup crushed cinnamon Teddy grahams
• 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, toasted
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Caramel sauce, optional
• Whipped cream, optional

Directions:

With an ice cream scoop, form 4 large balls of ice cream. Place on a waxed paper lined sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours.

In a bowl, combine the teddy graham crumbs with the toasted coconut, walnuts or cookie crumbs. Spread the mixture in a shallow dish.

Roll the ice cream balls and coat them in the crumb mixture and freeze for 30 minutes.

In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Dip the coated ice cream balls into the eggs, then roll in the crumb mixture, coating completely. Freeze for 1-2 hours or overnight.

Heat the oil in a large pot or fryer to 400 degrees F. One at a time, lower the balls into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the oil and place in a dessert bowl on top of whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce. Repeat with the remaining ice cream.

Enjoy!!!
