Hot Ice Cream Balls
- ICE CREAM BALLS
- 2 liters vanilla ice cream (good quality full cream)
- plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- CARAMEL SAUCE
- 60 g butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or 3 tablespoons Cointreau liqueur
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 1/2 cup cream
- For success with this recipe, it is important when making these ice-cream balls to have everything as COLD as possible.
- Ice-cream MUST BE VERY HARD and should be a good quality full cream ice-cream.
- Put a scone (biscuit) tray into freezer before starting to make the ice-cream balls, so it too is very cold.
- ICE-CREAM BALLS: Remove ice-cream container from the freezer, scoop ice-cream into balls with an ice-cream scoop*, put onto prepared tray, return to freezer until hard.
- Then, working very quickly, coat one or two ice-cream balls lightly in flour, dip in combined beaten eggs and milk, then coat firmly with breadcrumbs.
- Place immediately on tray in freezer; repeat with remaining ice-cream balls.
- Freeze the crumbed ice-cream balls until very hard, then repeat"egg-and-breadcrumbing" to give them a firm well covered coating.
- They can now be left for several days until you wish to cook and serve them.
- Cooking Ice-cream Balls: To fry, place ice-cream balls, two at a time, into deep hot oil, fry for 30 seconds or until golden brown, place on absorbent paper.
- Serve immediately with Hot Caramel Sauce or Hot Chocolate Sauce or any of your favourite dessert sauces.
- CARAMEL SAUCE: Put butter and sugar into a pan, stir over heat until butter has melted, add combined remaining ingredients, stir over low heart until sugar dissolves, increase heat, bring to boil.
- Reduce heat, simmer 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Sauce can be made ahead of time and warm through.
- *TIP: Dip ice-cream scoop into a glass of water when scooping hard ice-cream into balls.
