Information
This is a great dessert, even in the middle of winter! Nothing beats fried fruit bat heads with a chilly icecream mix. You can even chuck in some berries!
Ingredients and required items
About 1 kg of fruit bats heads. You can get these from almost any butcher in Australia
Ice cream – as much as you wish.
Additional fruit
Sugar oil
Step 1
Take the bat heads – and give them a good clean. Don’t be too rough, as they are fragile and prone to split into two or more bits. To remove the skull, tip it up-side down and apply gentle pressure to the top. It should just slide out
Step 2
Place the sugar oil into a frying pan, and put it on a low temperature. When it starts to bubble – place the bat heads into the sugar oil. You will need to rotate them after a few minutes to ensure they are cooked well. They will probably fall apart, as you can see in my picture.
Step 3
Get your bowls – and put ice cream into the bowls. Take the bat heads out of the pan and place them in with the ice cream. Sprinkle any additional fruit on top, such as raspberries or strawberries. I didn’t have any fruit today so I have done it without.
