No Fry Fried Ice Cream

 

        This non-fried ice cream is a Mexican inspired dessert but minus any oil. It has a crispy coating but without deep frying. It is crunchy on the outside and soft from within. This is a great party recipe and is apt for a kids party or a kitty party. It is a 'must try' recipe . You can enjoy simply on its own with just a sprinkle of chopped pistachios, like I did or with a garnish of some whipped cream, chocolate sauce or a cherry on the top. Enjoy !!!!

          

             So impress your guests with this easy to make frozen dessert. However, I replaced the cornflakes and cinnamon powder that is typically used. 

            I tried with oats, grated Lindt dark chocolate, brown sugar and cardamom powder and it turned out super yummy.

           You can try with any flavored ice cream of your choice. Make them ahead of time and freeze until serving.

• 4-5 scoops of ice cream
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1 cup oats
• 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
• 2-3 tbsp. grated chocolate
• 2-3 tbsp. brown sugar or as needed
• 1 tbsp. chopped pistachio & dry rose petals to garnish

          Scoop the ice cream and arrange them on a butter paper or a muffin tray lined with cling film for easy removal. Freeze for 1-2 hours. 

          Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan. Add the oats and sauté till it is slightly browned. 

          Add the grated chocolate, brown sugar and cardamom powder. Mix everything well and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. 

          When the ice cream scoops are hard enough, roll them in the crunchy oats mixture and press them gently till well coated from all over.

          Garnish with chopped pistachios and dry rose petals and enjoy, If preferred, you can garnish with whipped cream, chocolate sauce or a cherry.
