Day #2: Deep Fried Nutella

Last summer when Yummy team's fried ice cream won ST's Sizzling Summer Contest I was so amazed to find a recipe where you can fry ice cream.. That was unbelievable for me and even I gave it a try when I was in India.. After that this has become one of the hits in my mom's kitchen and also my 11 year old brother's favourite dessert..  ;)

Yesterday when I started 7 days marathon "Nutella Week", I had no idea what are those 7 recipes that I'm going to try with Nutella except "Nutella Cold Coffee"... So I started going through my bookmarked recipes in search of one that can be possibly tried with Nutella and I came across YT's fried ice cream... And there I got the idea of "Deep Fried Nutella".

At first sight, I felt it will be very easy to repeat the process with Nutella but then later on I realized "You gotta break your head for this"..

Firstly, Nutella has much smoother texture when compared to ice cream. So if you try to roll them into balls, there is a possibility that nutella may ooze out of the coating. Secondly, if I freeze it for sometime and then try to work with it. Then it is another big NO NO!! It is somewhat difficult to work with freezed nutella.. So now what next??

There is an option in between the two impossible options and with utmost care you can get the desired outcome.. What's that? Hold on guys.. There is always climax for every movie no matter how damm boring it is.. So just wait and keep reading..

Well well.. I will reveal this later on.. Let us move to the recipe.. :) Hope you will like it!!

Ingredients:

Bread (preferably white bread as it binds together easily. But I worked with wheat bread, my another challenge) - 2 slice per ball
Nutella - 1 tbsp per ball
Oil - for deep frying

Method:

Trim the bread crusts and place a tbsp of nutella over one trimmed slice.. There are lots of way of coating.. Here we are using bread slices. But we can use cornflakes, bread crumbs and powdered nuts.. And that requires even more patience to work on this dessert.. But it is always easy to use bread slices esp. white bread.

Place another slice over it and press firmly the sides of the slices. Do not start rolling it into a ball as nutella is very smooth in texture and may pop out. So just seal the sides of the bread slices and refrigerate it for minimum 1 hr.

Now take it out and immediately start rolling it into balls.. At this point, nutella has harden so it will become easy to work on..

After rolling into balls refrigerate it for another 1 hr or you can refrigerate it overnight.. You can preserve it for 2-3 days.

Deep fry them for 20-30 seconds as we do not want nutella to start melting.. Also bread gets fried soon. So remove it from heat as soon as you find bread turning golden brown in color. You will get yummy nutella covered with hot crispy bread.

Drizzle some honey or chocolate syrup and you are all set to impress your guests.. I'm sure your kids will love them...!!

Enjoy!!
