Fried Ice Cream - The Gunny Sack

Ingredients

  • 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup of cornflakes
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup of vegetable oil for frying
  • Chocolate or caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by scooping the vanilla ice cream into 4 equal portions. Place the scoops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours until the ice cream is very firm.
  2. While the ice cream is freezing, crush the cornflakes into small pieces and place them in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and ground cinnamon to create a batter.
  3. Once the ice cream scoops are firm, remove them from the freezer. Dip each scoop first into the batter, ensuring it’s completely coated, and then roll it in the crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Return the coated ice cream balls to the baking sheet and freeze them for an additional 30 minutes. This step is crucial for ensuring that the ice cream doesn’t melt too quickly during frying.
  5. In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (about 350°F), carefully add the frozen ice cream balls, frying them for about 10-15 seconds until they are golden brown.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried ice cream and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately, drizzled with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired. Enjoy the delightful contrast of crispy and creamy!

This fried ice cream recipe is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a visual delight. The combination of textures makes it an unforgettable dessert. Try it out and bring joy to your next gathering!
