Deep Fried Root Beer Floats



Step 3: Fry Until Golden

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C) . Use enough oil to fully submerge the balls.
  2. Carefully lower a few coated ice cream balls into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Fry for 30–45 seconds , or until golden brown and crispy. Work quickly to prevent the centers from melting too much.
  3. Remove the fried floats and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

  1. Roll the warm fried floats in granulated sugar for extra sweetness.
  2. Drizzle with root beer syrup or chocolate sauce, top with whipped cream, and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
  3. Serve immediately while the outside is crispy and the inside is melty and gooey.
