Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 cups corn flakes, crushed
1 cup coconut flakes
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 quart strawberry ice cream
1 quart chocolate ice cream
Fried Sweet Dough, recipe follows
Chocolate sauce, for serving
2 quarts (8 cups) canola oil
2 sheets prepared croissant dough, cut into 2-inch squares
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Combine the corn flakes, coconut flakes, butter, granulated sugar and cinnamon on a large baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes.
  • Use a 2-inch scoop to scoop 4 balls from each flavor of ice cream. Roll to coat the balls in the corn flake mixture on all sides and freeze for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

Tips:

  • To make fried ice cream, you will need a few specialized ingredients, including panko breadcrumbs, cornflakes, and sweetened condensed milk. You can find these ingredients at most Asian grocery stores.
  • It is important to freeze the ice cream for at least 2 hours before frying. This will help to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
  • When frying the ice cream, be sure to use a high heat. This will help to create a crispy coating on the outside of the ice cream.
  • Be careful not to overcook the ice cream. If the ice cream is overcooked, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the fried ice cream immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and whipped cream.

    Fried ice cream is a delicious and unique dessert that is sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make fried ice cream at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
