T's Fried Scoop is deep-fried ice cream that can be bought during Brick Lane's popular Sunday Upmarket and the Saturday market at the Truman Brewery on Hanbury Street. I recently headed over to Brick Lane's Upmarket and purchased some, which was served with a Halloween witch on top. T's Fried Scoop ice cream offers a range of flavours: clotted cream vanilla, chocolate, matcha, strawberry, and the limited special black coconut.
The deep fried ice cream is located inside a dough ball, which is then dipped in flour, covered in bread crumbs, and deep fried. A small range of toppings is available - whipped cream or covered in cornflakes. I had the black coconut flavour covered in cornflakes. This was then decorated with an orange caramel syrup and topped with a sugar witch. The orange and black definitely made this a Halloween treat.
T's Fried Scoop actually launched right after the lockdown at the end of July, 2020.
The dessert reminded me of Japanese mochi, an ice cream that is covered in a powdered sugar. However, mochi is not served hot, so it is not exactly the same. To try some, visit the Truman Brewery Upmarket at the weekends. They are located with the other street food kiosks at the corner of Hanbury Street and Brick Lane.
