Brandi Milloy: Today Show Funnel Cake Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe Directions
- Whip the heavy cream into stiff peaks.
- Separately, mix strawberry preserves into soft ice cream. Then fold in whipped cream.
- Transfer the ice cream mix to a casserole dish or baking sheet lined with plastic wrap. Cover and set in the freezer over night.
- Beat eggs with sugar. Slowly whisk in milk. Next, add flour with baking powder and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add a couple inches of oil to the bottom of a heavy pot. Let it heat until a drop of the batter quickly cooks.
- Using your finger to plug the hole of a funnel, pour batter into the open end of the funnel.
- With the funnel over the hot oil, release your finger and quickly move the funnel around to form a design as your funnel cake begins to cook.
- Once browned on the first side, flip and cook until it is evenly browned on both sides.
- Repeat this process until you have used all your funnel cake batter.
- Remove ice cream mix from freezer. Use a 2 1/2 ring mold (or biscuit cutter) to cut discs from the ice cream.
- Use two funnel cakes to form a sandwich, with a disc of ice cream in the middle. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
