Fried Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Fried Ice Cream Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream

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

  2. 2

    Crush the Cornflakes

    In a bowl, crush the cornflakes into coarse crumbs. Mix in the cinnamon and sugar.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Batter

    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together. In another bowl, place the flour.

  4. 4

    Coat the Ice Cream

    Remove the ice cream from the freezer. Roll each ball in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornflake mixture. Ensure each ball is well coated.

  5. 5

    Freeze Again

    Place the coated ice cream balls back on the baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Fry the Ice Cream

    In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry each ice cream ball for about 15-20 seconds until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Place the fried ice cream on a plate, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and top with whipped cream and cherries. Serve immediately.
