Try freezing the twinkie before cooking it. That's how japanese people make fried ice cream (tempura ice cream) - somehow they get the batter on there, freeze it, and then flash-fry it right before it's served (mmmmmmmmmmmm....).

I've made it--thos I've only heard about it in the context of Mexican food, the Japanese angle is interesting. Not too hard, you just need to have your ice cream well-frozen (no soft-serve obviuosly!) and coat it with some egg/milk mixture, then cover well with some kinda breading (I'm forgetting details, this was years ago), then into the deep fryer and, yummmm.

WOW, what a great marketing gimmick. $ cha-ching $ cha-ching $
