Deep-fried ice cream is a dessert that combines the coldness of ice cream with a warm, crispy coating. To make it, a scoop of ice cream is first frozen solid, then coated in a layer of batter or crumbs. The coated ice cream is quickly deep-fried in hot oil, which creates a crunchy exterior while keeping the inside cold and creamy. This treat is often served with toppings like chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or fruit. It is popular in various cuisines, especially in Mexican and American restaurants, where it is enjoyed for its unique contrast of temperatures and textures.
