Best Fried Pickle Ice Cream Recipes

FRIED ICE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place six scoops of ice cream , about 3 inches in diameter, on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until very firm.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs, coconut, and cinnamon.
• Roll the frozen ice cream balls in the crumb mixture. Place them back on the baking sheet and freeze again for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining crumb mixture for the next steps.
• In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar until foamy.
• Dip the coated ice cream balls into the egg mixture, then roll again in the reserved crumb mixture, coating completely. Freeze again for 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill a medium bowl or plate in the refrigerator.
• When ready to fry, heat about 3-inches of oil in a medium heavy-duty saucepan to 375 F. Set the chilled plate next to the pan. Remove one ball of ice cream at a time from the freezer. Quickly dip into the hot oil until the coating turns crisp and brown, 8 to 10 seconds.
• Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place on the chilled plate. Repeat with the remaining ice cream balls. Serve immediately with a drizzle of sauce, if desired.

FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Cover a plate with parchment paper or wax paper. In a shallow dish, combine buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Place pickles in mixture and set aside.
• Pour the flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning into a large, resealable plastic bag; shake to mix well. Add pickles a few at a time and tumble gently to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Remove and place on prepared plate.
• Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet.
• Fry pickles in several batches until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside with a moist interior, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine buttermilk ranch dressing with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning; blend. Serve as a dipping sauce for warm pickles.

NO-CHURN PICKLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan in the freezer to chill.
• Pulse the pickles and brine in the carafe of a blender, then blend until pureed, about 1 minute. Strain the puree and discard any pulp. You should have about 1/3 cup pickle liquid.
• Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and pickle liquid to the cream cheese and continue to mix until smooth.
• Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined; this lightens it and allows the mixture to stay fluffy. Fold this lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into the chilled loaf pan and freeze, covered, until scoopable, about 5 hours. Serve with sprinkles if desired.

FRIED ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Scoop ice cream into 8 - 1/2 cup sized balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• In a shallow dish, combine cornflakes and cinnamon. In another dish, beat egg whites until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then in cornflakes, covering ice cream completely. Repeat if necessary. Freeze again until firm, 3 hours.
• In deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Using a basket or slotted spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time, for 10 to 15 seconds, until golden. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve immediately.
