Description

These Fried Eskimo Balls are the ultimate showstopper for dessert lovers. The magic lies in the contrast: a crunchy, warm graham cracker crust gives way to a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, which melts slightly around a sweet, juicy peach half.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into four equal portions and shape each into a ball.
  2. Place the ice cream balls in the freezer on a baking sheet until very firm, about 20 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the egg whites lightly until frothy.
  4. Take one ice cream ball out of the freezer. Press a small amount of almond paste onto the center and flatten slightly to create a pocket.
  5. Place one drained peach half into the almond paste pocket, pressing gently to secure.
  6. Dip the ice cream ball into the egg whites, ensuring it is fully coated.
  7. Roll the egg-washed ball in the graham cracker crumbs until completely covered. Press the crumbs firmly to adhere.
  8. Return the coated ball to the freezer immediately. Repeat with the remaining ice cream balls, peaches, and crumbs.
  9. Freeze the coated balls for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours until solid.
  10. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350ðF (175ðC).
  11. Carefully lower one frozen ice cream ball into the hot oil using a slotted spoon.
  12. Fry for 10-15 seconds only, just until the coating is golden brown and crisp. Do not overcook.
  13. Remove immediately with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  14. Repeat frying for the remaining balls.
  15. Serve immediately topped with warm vanilla sauce, chopped walnuts, and a sprig of mint.
