Fried Ice Cream Delight
A delightful dessert that combines crispy, fried exterior with creamy vanilla ice cream, perfect for family gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
For the Ice Cream
- 950 ml Vanilla Ice Cream Creamy and rich, the star of this dish.
For the Coating
- 60 g Cornflakes Crushed to perfection, adding a satisfying crunch.
- 6 g Ground Cinnamon Aromatic and warm, for a hint of spice.
- 25 g Granulated Sugar To enhance the sweetness of the coating.
For Frying
- 950 ml Vegetable Oil Ensures a golden crisp when frying.
Toppings
- to taste Whipped Cream Light and fluffy, for an indulgent topping.
- to taste Chocolate Syrup Rich and decadent, to drizzle over your creation.
- 1-2 pieces Maraschino Cherries Bright and cheerful, for that signature garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Using a scoop, create uniform balls of vanilla ice cream. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and refreeze for at least 2 hours.
Coating
- In a shallow dish, combine the crushed cornflakes, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar. Mix until well blended.
- Remove the frozen ice cream balls from the freezer and roll each ball in the cornflake mixture. Refreeze for an additional 30 minutes.
Frying
- In a deep-fryer or a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 190°C (375°F).
- Carefully place a few coated ice cream balls in the hot oil and fry for 15-30 seconds until golden brown.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ice cream balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
- Serve warm fried ice cream balls immediately with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and a maraschino cherry on top.
Notes
To avoid mishaps, keep ice cream balls very cold and do not overcrowd the frying pan. For healthier options, use lower-fat ice cream or whole-grain cereals.
