Stir-fried ice cream

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Stir-fried ice cream, also known as rolled ice cream or ice pan ice cream, is a sweetened frozen dessert. It is made using milk, cream, and sugars as well as other added ingredients to increase the flavor. The liquid mixture is stirred to incorporate air spaces on an ice pan and simultaneously cooled to -20 degrees. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foaming that is scooped off the pan and served in rolls. This method of ice cream production is a popular street food in the East and has gained popularity in Western countries in recent years.

History

The origins of stir-fried ice cream are traced back to Thailand, where it is a popular street food. The dessert is also common in other Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines. In recent years, it has spread to Western countries, particularly the United States, where it is often sold in malls and at food festivals.

Preparation

The preparation of stir-fried ice cream begins with a liquid base, which is often a mixture of milk and sugar. This base is poured onto a cold metal surface, which can be chilled to temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. The base freezes quickly, and is simultaneously stirred to incorporate air and break up ice crystals. As the base freezes, other ingredients such as fruit, chocolate, cookies, or candy can be mixed in. Once the ice cream is frozen, it is spread thin on the cold surface and scraped into rolls.

Variations

There are many variations of stir-fried ice cream, often featuring different mix-ins and toppings. Some popular flavors include strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. In Thailand, traditional flavors such as Thai tea and durian are also common. Toppings can include whipped cream, fresh fruit, and sweet sauces.
