How To Make fried ice cream

Step 1

Scoop the vanilla ice cream out onto a rimmed baking sheet covered with parchment paper, leaving space between the scoops. Place the baking sheet on a level spot in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Crush the cornflakes by placing them in a large zipper bag and smashing them with a rolling pin.
Step 3

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cornflakes and cinnamon. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Step 4

Roll the frozen ice cream balls in the cornflake mixture and place them back in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 5

Roll them again in the cornflake mixture and place them back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Step 6

When ready to serve, remove them from the freezer and let them sit for 1-2 minutes. If desired, top with whipped cream, chocolate, caramel sauce, and a maraschino cherry.
