Description
Fried Ice Cream is a delightful dessert that combines the creaminess of ice cream with a crispy coating, creating a unique and delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup cornflakes, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Chocolate syrup, for drizzling (optional)
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- Cherries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Scoop the vanilla ice cream into 4 balls, about 1/2 cup each. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes and ground cinnamon together.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and milk until smooth.
- Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the flour mixture, then into the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly. Repeat the process for a thicker coating.
- Place the coated ice cream balls back on the baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully fry the ice cream balls in batches for about 10-15 seconds, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately, drizzled with chocolate syrup, topped with whipped cream, and garnished with a cherry if desired.
Notes
- For a different flavor, try using chocolate or strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla.
- Add toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or fresh fruit to customize your fried ice cream further.
