Fried Vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients
Vanilla Ice Cream, 4 large scoops
Crushed Frosted Cornflakes, 1 cup
Cookie Crumbs, 1 cup
Eggs, 2
Sugar, 2 tablespoons
Vegetable Oil, for frying
Hot Chocolate Sauce
Whipped Cream
Method
With an ice cream scoop, make 4 balls of ice cream. Wrap each in individual wax paper and cover with plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for about 2 to 3 hours.
In a bowl, combine cornflakes and cookie crumbs, and spread the mixture in a shallow dish.
Dip the ice cream balls in the cornflakes mixture and freeze for 30 minutes.
In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar so that the sugar can dissolve properly.
Dip the balls in the eggs mixture and then roll it on the crumb mixture to coat thoroughly.
You will have to freeze the balls again for an hour before frying.
Heat oil to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and add the balls into the oil. Fry till the balls are golden brown in color.
Remove the balls and place it inside a dessert bowl, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and serve with whipped cream on the side.
