Fried Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Fried Ice Cream Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream Balls

    Scoop the vanilla ice cream into 4 equal-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until very firm.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a bowl, crush the cornflakes and mix them with cinnamon. Set aside. In another bowl, combine flour, egg, and milk to create a batter.

  3. 3

    Coat the Ice Cream

    Once the ice cream balls are firm, remove them from the freezer. Dip each ball into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then roll it in the crushed cornflakes until well covered.

  4. 4

    Fry the Ice Cream

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated ice cream balls, frying them for about 10-15 seconds until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle with honey or chocolate sauce and serve immediately.
