Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream Balls

    Scoop the vanilla ice cream into 8 equal balls using an ice cream scoop. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cornflake Coating

    In a large bowl, crush the cornflakes into smaller pieces. Stir in the cinnamon until well combined.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Coat and Fry the Ice Cream

    Take the frozen ice cream balls out of the freezer. Dip each ball into the batter, then roll it in the crushed cornflakes to coat evenly. Carefully place the coated ice cream balls into the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Fried Ice Cream

    Place the fried ice cream balls on a serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with whipped cream and a cherry on each ball. Serve immediately.
