Duo Duo Is Delivering DIY Deep-Fried Ice Cream Kits to Your Door
Choose between cookies and cream, vanilla bean and pandan coconut flavours.
A dessert menu staple in many a Chinese restaurant, deep-fried ice cream is the kind of sweet treat that delivers the best of two worlds. On the one hand, there's frosty, creamy ice cream. On the other, there's that crisp warm coating.
With Sydney's restaurants forced to shut up shop due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's likely that you haven't tucked into a serving of deep-fried ice cream recently. It's not really a dish that lends itself to takeaway, after all. But, thanks to Duo Duo's delivery range, you can now get DIY kits brought to your door so you can quickly (and easily) whip up the dessert gem at home.
You can opt for cookies and cream, simple vanilla bean or a bright-green pandan and coconut flavour — or all three. Each kit costs $9, and comes with a serving of handmade ice cream coated in sponge cake and Japanese panko. From there, you simply deep fry it for 45 seconds at 200°C, then get eating.
Deliveries are shipped on weekdays and, if you spend more than $40, there's no fee. Otherwise, you'll pay $10. Tubs of ice cream are also available for delivery.
To top things off, there's also an ice cream-peddling Duo Duo food truck, serving up the deep fried desserts (of course), plus tubs of its inventive flavours, so you can stock your freezer with durian, Thai milk tea, Earl grey milk tea, Vietnamese ice coffee, and chocolate and peanut butter fudge ice cream. It's currently parked up in Strathfield and open Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
