This Fried Ice Cream recipe features creamy vanilla ice cream coated in a crispy, toasted cinnamon-flavored frosted flakes crust and served immediately with chocolate and caramel sauces for a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream

  • 4 large scoops vanilla ice cream

Coating

  • 2 cups frosted flakes cereal, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter

Toppings

  • Chocolate sauce, for serving
  • Caramel sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy freezing of the ice cream balls.
  2. Shape ice cream: Using disposable gloves, carefully form each large scoop of vanilla ice cream into a smooth ball shape ensuring they are compact to hold shape during freezing.
  3. Freeze: Place the shaped ice cream balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they become rock hard to withstand coating.
  4. Toast cereal: In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter over medium heat. Add the crushed frosted flakes cereal and ground cinnamon. Sauté the mixture while stirring frequently for about 3 minutes until the cereal becomes toasted and browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  5. Roll ice cream: Remove the frozen ice cream balls from the freezer and quickly roll each one in the toasted cereal mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well to the ice cream surface.
  6. Serve: Serve the fried ice cream immediately with your favorite chocolate and caramel sauces drizzled on top for an indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Fried ice cream can be prepared ahead by freezing the shaped ice cream balls in advance, but rolling in the cereal should be done right before serving to maintain the coating’s crispness.
  • Use disposable gloves when shaping ice cream to prevent melting from hands.
  • Choose good quality vanilla ice cream for best flavor and texture.
  • Toasted cereal adds a crunchy texture and a touch of cinnamon flavor, elevating the dessert.
