No-Fry Fried Ice Cream
Description
No-Fry Fried Ice Cream begins by scooping vanilla ice cream into portions and freezing them solid. Cornflakes are crushed finely and then briefly cooked in melted butter with cinnamon and sugar to enhance the flavor and add a toasted note. This mixture is cooled before rolling the hardened ice cream scoops in it, forming a crunchy and spiced coating.
The technique avoids frying by relying on the butter-toasted cereal for texture and flavor contrast, while the ice cream remains cold and creamy inside. This creates a combination of cold softness and a crunchy, cinnamon-sweet exterior that delivers the essence of fried ice cream without deep frying.
Serving with optional chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or a cherry adds extra flavor and decoration, making it a flexible dessert for casual or special occasions.
Ingredients
- vanilla ice cream
- 5 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1/2 /2 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- (optional) (optional) chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Scoop ice cream into 2 1/2 inch scoops and freeze until hard. An easy way to do this is to line a cupcake pan with plastic wrap and place the scoops in the tin.
- Crush the cornflakes with a food processor or in a Ziploc bag.
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter. Add the cornflakes and cinnamon and cook for a couple of minutes. This blooms the cinnamon and makes the flavor come out.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Let mixture cool completely.
- When ice cream is hard, roll in the cornflake mixture. Top with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry if desired.
