Toppings

Method

Fried Ice Cream

  1. 1

    Prepare Ice Cream

    Scoop the vanilla ice cream into 4 equal balls and place them on a tray. Freeze the ice cream balls for at least 1 hour until very firm.

  2. 2

    Prepare Coating

    In a bowl, crush the cornflakes into small pieces. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and cinnamon until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Ice Cream

    Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the flour mixture, then roll in the crushed cornflakes to coat evenly. Return to the freezer for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fry the Ice Cream

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

Churros

  1. 5

    Make Churro Dough

    In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and salt, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour until well blended. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix until smooth.

  2. 6

    Pipe Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-inch strips of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Fry Churros

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 8

    Coat Churros

    In a bowl, mix powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the fried churros in this mixture to coat.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the fried ice cream ball. Drizzle with your choice of strawberry, caramel, or chocolate sauce. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Serve with churro bites on the side.
