Instructions

  1. Line a 13x9 baking dish with foil. Using a large ice cream scoop, portion out about 9 equal sized scoops of ice cream. Return ice cream to freezer for one hour.
  2. While the ice cream is freezing, crush corn flakes in a food processor using the "pulse" option until desired crumb size. After pulsing your cereal several times, add in the cookie crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Pulse a few times until blended. Set aside.
  3. After the hour of freezing, heat butter in skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add in cereal mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat, pour contents into shallow dish (I use a pie plate) and set aside.
  4. Remove ice cream balls from freezer. Roll in warm cereal mixture until coated and serve immediately with desired toppings like chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and cherry on top, as well as cinnamon sugar tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Ice cream- we love using our homemade vanilla ice cream, but of course store bought is great too. Just make sure the ice cream is firm enough to roll and scoop, and not too soft. Experiment with other flavors too!
  • For the cereal, measure it out BEFORE crushing!
  • Cookies- these are optional, but add a delicious flavor to the crunchy coating. Pecans, coconut, and golden Oreos are also delicious options. Feel free to skip if desired.
  • How to Fry. We love this easy no fry method, but you could fry these ice cream balls too. Instead of cooking the topping on the stove top, roll the frozen ice cream balls in the topping (some people roll the ice cream in egg whites first...you'll need 2-3 egg whites beaten). Heat a large saucepan (dutch oven) with about 4-inches of vegetable oil until it reaches 375 degrees. Keeping the ice cream frozen until ready to fry. Drop in hot oil for about 15- 20 seconds, until golden brown, serving immediately.
