The cornflakes are the stars here; they provide that crunchy, golden layer that contrasts the soft ice cream. And remember, your eggs should be thoroughly beaten. Watch out while frying, you want a quick fry not a complete thaw.

How To Make Fried Ice Cream

1. Scoop out generous amounts of ice cream and shape them into firm balls. Freeze for about 2 hours or until they’re perfectly firm.
2. In a shallow dish, mix the crushed cornflakes and cinnamon. Roll the frozen ice cream balls in the mixture, press lightly to adhere, then freeze for another hour.
3. Meanwhile, heat up your frying pan. Whisk eggs in a bowl, dip the coated balls in egg two at a time, and quickly deep fry to a crispy brown. Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips For The Best Results

• Be quick while frying to prevent the ice cream from melting.
• Use generously packed scoops to make firmer balls.

Storage Tips

• Freeze immediately after coating to maintain shape.
