Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Scoop the Ice Cream

    Scoop 4 cups of vanilla ice cream into 8 equal portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until firm.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a large bowl, crush the cornflakes and mix them with cinnamon. Set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and milk until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the ice cream.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Coat the Ice Cream

    Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then roll it in the cornflake mixture until well covered.

  3. 6

    Fry the Ice Cream

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the fried ice cream immediately, drizzling with chocolate syrup, adding whipped cream, and topping with cherries as desired.
