April Fools' Day Crab Cakes: Fried Ice Cream topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 cups coconut flakes
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 100 g chopped white chocolate
- 2 tbsp rum
- 2 tbsp. l. grated zest
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
- Vanilla ice cream
Preparation:
- Cut two 4-ounce (110-gram) cartons of vanilla ice cream in half crosswise to make 4 discs; freeze for 30 minutes. Combine 2 cups cubed white bread with 2 cups shredded coconut in a food processor, then transfer to a plate. Remove the carton from the ice cream and press the ice cream into the crumb mixture, coating all sides (set aside any remaining crumbs). Freeze the ice cream until firm, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the "tartar sauce" (below). Dip the ice cream discs in 3 beaten eggs, then roll them, pressing firmly, in the remaining bread crumbs and freeze for at least 1 hour. In a deep frying pan, heat 7 cm of vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F) and fry the ice cream until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil and serve immediately.
