Report
The perfect Fried Ice Cream - without the deep frying mess! Creamy vanilla ice cream is formed into rounds then rolled through a sauteed buttery cinnamon cornflake topping and finished with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce - talk about decadence!

Ingredients
- 6 cups (162g) corn flakes cereal*
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 2 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream, firm enough to shape but just soft enough to scoop (approx. 32 oz)
Optional toppings
- honey or caramel sauce
- Chocolate fudge sauce
- sweetened whipped cream
- cherries (fresh or maraschino)
Instructions
- Crush cornflakes: Pour cornflakes into a gallon size resealable bag, seal bag and then use a rolling pin to crush cornflakes to small bits.
- Saute cornflakes and cinnamon in butter: Melt butter in a nonstick 10-inch fry pan over medium heat. Stir in crushed corn flakes and cinnamon and increase heat slightly.
- Cook mixture, stirring constantly until golden brown and fragrant (color will deepen and begin to smell lightly toasty and corn flakes should be crisp), about 2 minutes.
- Let mixture cool: Remove from heat, pour mixture in a shallow dish and allow to cool.
- Shape ice cream: Remove ice cream from freezer, scoop out desired serving size (you should be able to get about 8 individual servings, or 4 big restaurant size sharing servings) and shape into a ball with clean hands.
- Roll ice cream in cornflake mixture: Immediately drop shaped ice cream ball into corn flake mixture and roll to evenly coat, while pressing corn flake mixture around outer surface for a thicker coating.
- Let set: Freeze for 10 - 15 minutes to re-solidify ice cream, keep frozen until ready to serve. Add toppings just before serving.
Notes
- *You could also replace some of the corn flakes with sweetened shredded coconut or finely chopped pecans.
- If you don't care about having uniformly shaped ice cream balls, then you can simply scoop out the ice cream and drop it into the toasted corn flake mixture without shaping.
- Nutrition does not include toppings.
