Tempura Fried Ice Cream--Green Tea

Ice-cream is something that is always at my place. A-L-W-A-Y-S.

Besides there always being ice-cream, there is also ALWAYS different kinds in my freezer. 

My indecisiveness gets the best of me when I stare at all the different selections at the grocery store.

"Maybe I'll just get vanilla this week, " I tell myself. "No,  but there's chocolate gelato over there and snickers too. Ooo, just kidding,  I want dulce de  leche!"

Every couple of weeks that's the conversation that takes place between me and the ice-cream aisle and then pretty soon this happens:

I'm  not that bad--you do see the bag of broccoli right?--

Sigh.

I really do try to be a good and responsible grownup, but sometimes I just can't help  it.  :/

Since I had all of this ice cream and it was UBER hot this past week, I  figured I could make a fun ice-cream dessert. That's when  ice cream tempura popped into my mind.

I love tempura'd ice-cream. I mean,  it's fried ice-cream!

Fricking Yum!

I typically have it when I eat sushi  and they usually use green tea ice cream so that's what I did.

While you can definitely make your own green tea ice-cream and I plan on doing so in the very near future, Haagen Daz's Green Tea flavor is pure awesomeness so I used that.

I double promise that  this is one delicious dessert.

My mom and I devoured it within seconds. :) Try it!
