Transcript:Tempura Fried Ice Cream

Hi! My name is Ivan from Sushi Twist in New York City, and for About.com, I'm going to show you how to make tempura ice cream.

Tempura Fried Ice Cream Ingredients

You will need:

• clear wrap
• 2 scoops of ice cream
• 12 oz. flour
• 6 oz. water
• 1 egg
• 4 slices of pound cake

And as an optional topping, wafer cookie, whipped cream, cherry, chocolate sauce and strawberry sauce.

Start the Ice Cream Roll

First, lay four thinly sliced pieces of pound cake two-by-two on a square. Then, place the ice cream in the middle of the pound cake.

Roll and Freeze the Ice Cream

Then roll the pound cake onto clear wrap. Wrap tightly and place in freezer, and let sit until completely frozen.

Mix and Batter the Fried Ice Cream Tempura

When you are ready to eat, first you have to mix the water and flour and egg into a bowl until consistent. Remove wrap and roll in dough and batter.

Fry the Ice Cream

Next, drop the batter covered ice cream into the deep fryer for 20 to 30 seconds. If you do not have a deep fryer, you can just use a hot pot of oil. Next remove and let cool for a few seconds, then cut into five or six pieces. If you prefer, you can add chocolate syrup, ice cream for extra flavor.
