Tips:

Use high-quality ice cream. The better the ice cream, the better the tempura-fried ice cream will be.
Freeze the ice cream scoops for at least 2 hours before frying. This will help them hold their shape when they are fried.
Use a light batter. A heavy batter will make the tempura-fried ice cream greasy.
Fry the ice cream in hot oil. This will help the batter cook quickly and prevent the ice cream from melting.
Serve the tempura-fried ice cream immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Tempura-fried ice cream is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite flavors. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give tempura-fried ice cream a try.
