Fried Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream

    Scoop the vanilla ice cream into large balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a bowl, mix the corn flakes and cinnamon together until well combined. Crush the corn flakes slightly for a better coating.

  3. 3

    Coat the Ice Cream

    Remove the ice cream scoops from the freezer. Roll each scoop in the corn flake mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Return to the freezer for another 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fry the Ice Cream

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated ice cream scoops into the hot oil, frying for about 15-20 seconds until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the fried ice cream on a serving dish. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.
