Prepare Cornflake Mixture

Mix Batter Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and milk until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the ice cream balls.

Coat Ice Cream Balls
Take the frozen ice cream balls out of the freezer. Dip each ball in the batter, making sure it's fully coated. Then roll it in the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry Ice Cream
Carefully place each coated ice cream ball into the hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time for about 30-40 seconds or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
