Fried Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Scoop ice cream into 8 - 1/2 cup sized balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• In a shallow dish, combine cornflakes and cinnamon. In another dish, beat egg whites until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then in cornflakes, covering ice cream completely. Repeat if necessary. Freeze again until firm, 3 hours.
• In deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Using a basket or slotted spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time, for 10 to 15 seconds, until golden. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, sugar and salt.
• Heat milk to almost simmering. Whisking constantly, add flour-sugar mixture. Cook 5-6 minutes, until thick.
• Beat egg yolks and vanilla. Add hot pudding, 1/4 cup at a time, until egg yolks are hot to the touch. Pour egg yolk mixture into pot and whisk vigorously over heat 2-3 minutes. It should be quite thick; thicker than a typical pudding.
• Pour cream into ungreased quarter-sheet pan and spread out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap (press plastic down to touch the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate until set and very cold, 3-4 hours or up to overnight.
• Dip a butter knife in hot water and run it along the inner rim of the pan to loosen the cream. Invert the pan onto your cutting board to release the cream. Trim edges if necessary and cut cream into diamond shapes.
• Place flour in a wide dish. In a second dish, beat eggs and a pinch of salt. Place breadcrumbs in a third dish. Dredge cream pieces in flour, then dip into egg, then into breadcrumbs.
• In a skillet, pour oil 1/4-1/2" deep. Heat oil until it almost shimmers. Fry pieces in hot oil until golden brown, turning once, about 3-5 minutes per side.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle fried cream with cinnamon sugar as they come out of the pan. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve plain or with jam, marmalade or chocolate sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• *Note: the directions on the back of the Cream of Wheat box indicate you can substitute milk for all (or part of) the water. I've prepared the recipe using water only and with water/milk especially if there is milk on hand that is close to the pull date.
• In a pan, bring water (and salt if using) to the boil (or almost to the boil if using milk) and stir in 3/4 cup Cream of Wheat. Stir with fork or wire whisk to break up any lumps.
• Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring every minute or so. Note: Cooking time may vary depending on which type of Cream of Wheat is used.
• While still hot, pour the cooked cereal into a 9x11-inch buttered casserole dish.
• Let cool, cover, then place in refrigerator overnight.
• Next day, cut the farina up into 16-20 slices. (Another method is to carefully invert the casserole dish over the skillet. The farina will slip out of the casserole dish easily. This is trickier to do though. I find Option A much easier.).
• Place farina meal in a shallow plate or on a piece of wax paper.
• Lightly dredge each slice in farina meal.
• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter on medium heat.
• Add some of the farina slices to the skillet but do not crowd.
• Fry on both sides until golden brown and crispy.
• Cook the slices in batches, adding more butter as needed.
• Arrange on platter and serve with butter and warm maple syrup.

Steps:

• Place the cold fatback into a saute pan and begin to heat over medium-low heat. Allow the fat to melt and render as slowly as possible to insure that the pieces are completely rendered but remain very light golden brown. Add the butter to the pan, then the onions and allow the onions to sweat until very soft. Mix together the corn with the heavy cream and sugar, and add to the pan of fat and onions. Increase the heat to high and stir vigorously to emulsify the mixture. Once the mixture has reached a boil, turn off the heat and continue to stir for 30 seconds. Season with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed cornflakes and toast until golden, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sugar, cinnamon and salt. Allow to cool slightly.
• Scoop the ice cream into a bowl or bowls, and spoon over generous quantities of the fried cornflake crumbs. Top with some whipped cream, sprinkles and maraschino cherries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll pastry onto an ungreased baking sheet. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over pastry. Prick thoroughly with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. , Place crust in a large resealable plastic bag; crush to form coarse crumbs. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Using a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop, drop a scoop of ice cream into crumbs; roll quickly to coat and shape into a ball. Transfer to a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; place in freezer. Repeat 7 times; freeze until firm, 1-2 hours., To serve, heat oil to 375° in an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer. Fry ice cream balls until golden, 8-10 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately in chilled dishes. Drizzle with honey.
