Method

Prepare Ice Cream

  1. 1

    Scoop Ice Cream

    Scoop 4 cups of vanilla ice cream and form into tight balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 2 hours until solid.

Prepare Coating

  1. 2

    Crush Cornflakes

    In a large bowl, crush the cornflakes into smaller pieces. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 3

    Prepare Flour Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup of milk until smooth. This will be your batter.

Fry Ice Cream

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Coat Ice Cream Balls

    Take the frozen ice cream balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the crushed cornflakes until well covered.

  3. 6

    Fry Ice Cream

    Carefully place the coated ice cream balls into the hot oil, frying them for about 10-15 seconds until golden brown. Remove immediately and drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. 7
