Tempura Ice Cream from Scratch

Tempura Ice Cream is a popular dessert in many countries. It is a great choice for birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries. Traditionally, tempura ice cream is made by dipping a piece of ice cream in a batter of fried dough. However, this is not a healthy dessert and should only be consumed in moderation. For a healthier version, you can substitute the batter with a different ingredient.
