Crispy Fried Ice Cream

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Ice Cream.

1. Step 1

   Begin by assembling your ingredients: creamy vanilla ice cream, crunchy crushed cornflakes, aromatic ground cinnamon, fluffy egg whites, and oil for frying.

2. Step 2

   Scoop the ice cream into eight generous 1/2-cup balls and arrange them on a baking sheet.

3. Step 3

   Pop the baking sheet into the freezer and let the ice cream balls chill until they are firm, which should take about an hour.

4. Step 4

   In a shallow dish, mix together the crushed cornflakes and ground cinnamon for a delightful crunch.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become light and foamy.

6. Step 6

   Take each ice cream ball and roll it in the beaten egg whites, ensuring it’s well-coated, then roll it in the cornflake mixture, making sure every inch is covered.

7. Step 7

   If you desire an extra-thick coating, repeat the rolling process.

8. Step 8

   Return the coated ice cream balls to the freezer for another three hours to firm up.

9. Step 9

   When you’re ready to fry, heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy saucepan to a sizzling 375°F (190°C).

10. Step 10

    Carefully fry the ice cream balls in the hot oil, one or two at a time, until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 10 to 15 seconds.

11. Step 11

    Once fried, quickly drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil, and serve immediately for a warm, crispy treat that contrasts perfectly with the cold, creamy center.
