I heard that name on TV but I'm not sure what it is. What does it consist of and where do you buy it? Does it taste good?

I was a chef for 20 years in Canada and worked in a place in 1982 and we had a dessert called the "SnowFire", it was spumoni ice cream, wrapped in sponge cake, then dipped in a batter, deep fried to a golden brown, and served with a sauce made from apricot preserves and rum.
To keep to ice cream from melting it is best to make it a day ahead of time, and make your batter or crumb/cookie breading, then do it as fast as possible, you want to brown and cook the outer coating and not damage the ice cream below, that is a decision you can make, any ice cream is fine, premium is better as it melts at a higher temp due to the higher egg and sugar content, sauces are another decision, from chocolate to fruit base, warm is nice as it helps pair with the cooked batter, and the deep frying fat is important to, 375 degrees is best as it will seal and brown quickly and not affect the ice cream below.
We made this dessert at a now defunct place in Toronto Canada called the "Pearcy House" it was on Bloor St, a place way ahead of it's time, one of Toronto's first Novelle cuisine restaurant in the 1980's and was quite well known, just was not the most economical time to be innovative and trendy??

You don't buy fried ice cream, you make it.
Works on the same principle as Baked Alaska - which is ice cream baked in an oven in meringue. The ice cream does not melt because it is encased in batter and cooked for a short time at a high temperature.
Coat a scoop of very cold, stiff ice cream in thick batter made with flour, milk and two eggs, separated and beaten. The egg whites should be folded into the batter until smooth. Fry in a deep fryer until the batter is golden brown, then remove to a paper towel to drain for a few minutes before serving. You can also slice ice cream bricks approximately 3/4 inch thick.

It's realllyyyy good. Don't have it if you're watching your weight though, haha.
It's usually vanilla ice cream balls that are frozen. Then they are coated with some sort of dry ingrediant, the kind i had was coated with coconut shavings. Then they are frozen again so that they stay hard.
Then they are deep fried so that the outside turns crispy.
I'm pretty sure you can't buy fried ice cream because it wouldn't stay good. It's one of those things you have to make from scratch. Either they could turn out really good, or it could just be a disaster haha. I haven't made them yet but i want to, i'll let you know how it goes.

fried ice cream rocks! It is a firm ball of vanilla ice cream, rolled in coconuts and nuts, then very quickly fried in hot oil, not long enough to melt it. I dont know of anywhere you could buy it, but it can be homemade. It is usually served in Mexican restaurants, so you might try it there.

It is delicious and I think it is asian in origin. You can make it a couple of ways. The easiest is to take two pieces of bread and trim the crust. Place a scoop of your favorite ice cream inbetween and form the bread around the scoop sealing the edges. Wrap it tightly in saran wrap and freeze for two hours. Then fry it in 375* vegetable oil untill golden brown. Serve it with some fresh berries and whipped cream.
The other way to make it is with a two step breading method, i.e. dip the scoop in egg and then coat it with corn flakes or panko or cookie crumbs.
I'm not sure where to find it except there is a mexican style too. Maybe you could find it at a Mexican restaurant.
