Fried Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Fried Ice Cream Preparation

1

Prepare Ice Cream Balls

Scoop 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream and roll them into balls. Place on a tray and freeze for at least 1 hour to harden.

2

Prepare Coating

In a bowl, crush the cornflakes into smaller pieces. In another bowl, whisk together flour, egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3

Coat Ice Cream Balls

Dip each frozen ice cream ball into the flour mixture, then roll in the crushed cornflakes, ensuring they are fully coated. Return to the freezer for 30 minutes.

4

Heat Oil

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

5

Fry Ice Cream Balls

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

6

Serve

Drizzle with chocolate syrup, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Serve immediately.
