A delightful dessert that combines hot and cold, crispy and creamy for an unforgettable experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup cornflakes, crushed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying
  • Chocolate sauce (for serving)
  • Whipped cream (for serving)
  • Cherries (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Freeze the ice cream: Scoop the ice cream into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid.
  2. Create the batter: In one bowl, mix flour, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth batter. In another bowl, place the crushed cornflakes for coating.
  3. Coat the ice cream balls: Roll each frozen ice cream ball in flour to create a light coating, then dip it in the batter. Finally, coat it generously with cornflakes, ensuring every inch is covered.
  4. Heat the oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). This is the perfect temperature for a quick fry that achieves that magical crispy texture!
  5. Fry the ice cream balls: Carefully drop the coated ice cream balls into the hot oil, frying for about 10-15 seconds until they turn golden brown.
  6. Drain excess oil: Remove the fried ice cream balls and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil and keep them from getting soggy.
  7. Serve immediately: Serve the fried ice cream balls topped with drizzles of chocolate sauce, a generous whip of cream, and a cherry on top for good measure.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
