Ingredients
for the fried ice cream:
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 3 cups crushed cornflakes cereal, about 5 cups uncrushed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 eggs whites
- Vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying
for serving:
- fresh berries
- Whipped Cream
- honey
Instructions
- Scoop the ice cream into ½ cup balls and freeze for one hour, until firm.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the crushed cornflakes and cinnamon. In another shallow dish, beat the egg whites until frothy.
- Dip each of the ice cream balls in the egg whites, then roll in the cornflakes, coating the ice cream completely. Repeat once more, dipping first in the egg whites and then again in the cornflakes, coating completely.
- Return the ice cream balls to the freezer and freeze until solid, 2-3 hours.
- When ready to serve, heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F. Using a slotted spoon, add the ice cream balls to the hot oil. Cook 10-15 seconds, until golden, turning to ensure both sides get browned.
- Let the ice cream balls drain on paper towels for 1-2 minutes, then serve immediately with whipped cream and berries, drizzled with honey.
Notes
- Make ahead of time. Easily prepare the balls ahead of time and keep them in a container in the freezer. Once the ice cream has been rolled in the cornflakes place them in the freezer for 1-2 months. Fry before serving.
