Categories     Desserts

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

ice cream of choice (I used strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate)
1 and 1/4 cups cornflakes
1 and 1/4 cups Rice Krispies (I used the brown rice variety)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup ground pecans (or nut of your choice)
2 teaspoons Gefen Cinnamon
pinch nutmeg (optional but recommended)
3-3 and 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Using a medium-sized scoop, form ice cream into balls. Place on Gefen Easy Baking Parchment-lined baking sheet and place in freezer. Allow to freeze for at least an hour, and up to a day in advance.
  • Meanwhile, prepare crumbs: Place cornflakes and Rice Krispies in the food processor with the knife attachment and pulse to form fine crumbs, leaving a few small pieces.
  • Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan. Stir in crushed cereal. Add pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg, if using. Heat together for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from heat.
  • Add sugar and mix together well. Pour out onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
  • Once the crumbs are cooled, roll the ice cream balls evenly in the crumb mixture to coat, pressing the crumbs gently to get them to stick. Roll just a few at a time, returning the rest to the freezer to prevent them from melting.
  • Return coated balls to the freezer until serving. Garnish with chocolate or caramel syrup and whipped cream, or honey and candied pecans.
