Deep fried Atkins ice cream ?

Fried ice cream is dipped in a batter first, if it was just ice cream it
would simply melt.

Does it have to be batter? What about crushed nuts, or something similar?

Fried ice cream is how you got fat in the first place.

No, it was pizza, pasta and fries. I fully admit it.

It needs to be something that insulates the ice cream while the batter is
cooking. Atkins baking mix or similar might work.

Probably not. What forms the shell is probably the sugar. The bake mix is
mostly protein which won't make a nice crispy shell when heated too hot.

Word. What is wrong with you people?

k

If it just melt, that would be lucky. Given that the oil is going to be
pretty hot, it might actually start a fire!

Remember that rule - never dump water on hot oil to stop a fire??

According to a poster that I used to see stuck on the butt of buses couple
of years ago in UK, quite a few people are killed by chip (fries) fire every
year.

Wouldn't you have a higher success rate doing Baked Alaska? Now you'll only
need to find receipe for a low carb meringue.

Simple - whipped egg whites, a pinch of cream of tartar and sweetened with
Splenda. Slather it on the ice cream and bake. Sounds like a plan (serve
with some fresh berries)

Baked ice cream? You must really be in need of a carb fix.

MEXICAN FRIED ICE CREAM

3 c. vanilla ice cream
2 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 c. sweetened corn flakes or (rice crisp cereal, crushed)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Cooking oil for deep fat frying

Place six scoops about 1/2 cup each of ice cream in a small pan (freeze for 1
hour). Combine eggs, vanilla in a small mixing bowl. In pie plate combine
cereal and cinnamon.

Dip each frozen ice cream ball in egg mixture. Then in cereal mixture. Return
coated ice cream balls to pan and freeze (1 hour) or until firm. Reserve
remaining cereal mixture. Cover and chill remaining egg mixture. Remove coated
ice cream ball from freezer. Dip ball in remaining egg and cereal mixture,
return to pan. Cover and freeze for several hours.

Fry frozen ice cream balls (1 or 2 at a time) in deep hot oil at 350 degrees in
deep frying pan or deep fryer, 15 seconds or until brown (golden brown). Drain
a few seconds, return ice cream balls to freezer while frying remaining ones.
Serve immediately.
(Serves 6 persons.)

You could substitute low carb cereal, Splenda and the Atkins ice cream. It's
worth a try if it's what you're craving! : )
