How to Make Fried Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 6 cups corn flakes
- 1/2 cup butter (salted)
- 2 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 32 oz Vanilla ice cream
- Honey or caramel sauce
- Chocolate fudge sauce
- Whipped cream
- Cherries (fresh or maraschino)
Directions:
- Crush the corn flakes either in a freezer bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor until you have a coarse crumble.
- Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat, then add the crushed cornflakes and cinnamon. Cook until golden brown and fragrant, then transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Shape 4 oz servings of ice cream into balls and coat them evenly with the corn flake topping, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat for a total of 8 portions.
- Place the coated ice cream balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 15 minutes.
- Before serving, drizzle with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and cherries.
How to Serve Fried Ice Cream
Serve Fried Ice Cream immediately after drizzling with toppings while the ice cream balls are still cold and the coating is crispy. Enjoy the contrast between the warm, crunchy exterior and the cold, creamy center.
How to Store Fried Ice Cream
Store any leftover Fried Ice Cream in the freezer. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Enjoy within a few days for the best texture.
Tips to Make Fried Ice Cream
- Ensure the ice cream balls are well-frozen before coating to prevent them from melting too quickly.
- Press the corn flake topping firmly onto the ice cream balls to create a solid, crispy shell.
- Customize your Fried Ice Cream by using different ice cream flavors or experimenting with various toppings.
Variation
For a twist on traditional Fried Ice Cream, try using crushed graham crackers, nuts, or even cookie crumbs as the coating for a different flavor and texture experience.
