Fried Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Fried Ice Cream Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream

    Scoop out the vanilla ice cream into 4 equal balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

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

  3. 3

    Batter Preparation

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and milk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Coat the Ice Cream Balls

    Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the batter, then roll it in the cornflake mixture until fully coated. Repeat this process to ensure a thick coating.

  5. 5

    Freeze Again

    Place the coated ice cream balls back on the baking sheet and freeze for another 1-2 hours, or until very firm.

  6. 6

    Fry the Ice Cream

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry each ice cream ball for about 10-15 seconds until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Drizzle with chocolate syrup and caramel sauce, top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately and enjoy!
