Fried Ice Cream
Dairy • Serves 13
• Ice cream taken to the next level! The combo of hot and cold is unexpected and a fun new way to experience a classic dessert. Serve at a party for a great wow factor and a memorable way to end the night.
1 (11⁄2-quart) container vanilla ice cream
2 cups cornflake crumbs, divided
2 tsp sugar, divided
2 tsp cinnamon, divided
4 extra-large eggs, divided
Oil
1 carrot, for the pot
1⁄3 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp oil
Directions:
Allow ice cream to soften slightly; use an
ice-cream scooper to form ice cream into
balls. Place on a baking sheet; freeze for 2
hours or until firm.
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the cornflake
crumbs and 1 teaspoon each of the sugar
and cinnamon; set aside.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs.
Coat frozen ice cream balls in the egg,
then in the cornflake crumb mixture.
Freeze for 30 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining cornflake
crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and eggs to
form a second coating on the ice cream.
Freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
Heat oil in a small pot until bubbles begin
to form.
Add a carrot to the pot to prevent the oil
from burning.
Add ice cream balls, one at a time. A
slotted spoon is helpful to lower the ice
cream into the oil.
Flash-fry the ice cream for 40-50 seconds
until the outside is crisp and golden
brown. Be careful not to overcook it or
the ice cream will melt.
Place the chocolate chips and oil into
a microwave-safe bowl; microwave for
30 seconds on medium power; stir.
Return to microwave for an additional
30 seconds as needed or until chocolate
is completely melted; stir. Use a spoon
to drizzle the melted chocolate over ice
cream.
White Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake
Dairy • Serves 10-12
• We all love a creamy slice of cheesecake. This delicious New York-style cheesecake with the creaminess of the white chocolate, nuttiness from the amaretto, and a touch of lemon is more than a dessert; it’s an experience.
CRUST
2 cups vanilla wafer cookies, crushed
6 Tbsp vegan butter, softened
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp amaretto liqueur
Pinch salt
DAIRY CHEESECAKE
FILLING
2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
2 (8-oz) packages low-fat cream cheese,
softened
3⁄4 cup sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
4 eggs
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1⁄3 cup amaretto liqueur
1 tsp salt
1 (11-oz) bag white chocolate chips
GARNISH
Strawberries, quartered
Lemon, sliced
Chocolate liqueur, optional
CRUST
In a bowl, combine vanilla wafers, butter,
sugar, liqueur, and salt to form a dough.
Press into a 9-inch springform pan,
covering the bottom of the pan and two-
thirds up the sides of the wall.
Tightly wrap the pan in foil, covering the
bottom and sides.
FILLING
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
To a mixing bowl, add the softened cream
cheeses, sugar, and extracts. Add the eggs,
lemon zest, juice, liqueur, and salt.
Place the white chocolate chips into a
microwave-safe dish; microwave on
medium power for 30 seconds. Return
to the microwave for an additional 30
seconds, if needed. Chocolate should
be smooth and completely melted. Add
the chocolate to the filling batter. Using
electric beaters or a stand mixer, mix on
medium speed until the batter is smooth.
Pour over the crust.
Prepare a water bath by filling a pan
larger than the springform pan one-
quarter-full with water. Gently add
cheesecake to the water bath; place into
the oven.
Bake for 45-60 minutes. Remove the
cheesecake from the oven and the water
bath, cover and chill completely in the
refrigerator before serving.
Garnish with quartered strawberries
and lemon slices. Serve with a drizzle of
chocolate liqueur, if desired.
