ELI5: Deep Fried Ice Cream

How can ice cream be deep fried? Why doesn’t it just melt when put into boiling cooking oil?

The ice cream itself is not fried. It is surrounded by batter (like a donut) which is fried -- quickly enough that most of the ice cream doesn't melt, especially as the batter acts as a heat insulator.
