Easy Fried Ice Cream Recipe
This Mexican-style Fried Ice Cream is made by taking vanilla ice cream, rolling it in a topping that consists of sauteed butter, cinnamon, and cornflakes and finishing it off with a chocolate or caramel sauce. Can you say, YUM?!!
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 6 cups corn flakes cereal
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- vanilla ice cream
- your favorite toppings
Instructions
- Add cornflakes into a resealable bag, using a rolling pin, and crush the cereal into small bits.
- Add butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once melt, stir in crushed corn flakes and cinnamon. Turn up the heat, slightly.
- Continue to cook the mixture for about 2 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool.
- Take the ice cream out of the freezer, scoop out the amount that you’d like to use, ideally about 8-10 servings, and shape into balls.
- Roll the ice cream balls in the cornflakes mixture and coat evenly, making a thick coating on the outside.
- Freeze for about 10 - 15 minutes or keep them in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
Notes
- Work as quickly as possible with the ice cream, to prevent melting.
- If you prefer more of a crunch to your fried ice cream, then swap in some shredded coconut or chopped pecans for the corn flakes.
