Fried Mexican Ice Cream is a creamy, crispy dessert that combines the flavors of traditional ice cream with a crispy coating. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!

  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup cornflakes, crushed
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Start by scooping the vanilla ice cream into balls and freeze them for at least 2 hours.
  2. Prepare a breading station: set up bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of crushed cornflakes and cinnamon.
  3. Coat each ice cream ball in flour, then dip into eggs, and finally roll in the cornflake mixture.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  5. Fry the coated ice cream balls in batches until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove and place on paper towels.
  6. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • For a unique twist, add chocolate or caramel sauce over the fried ice cream.
  • Ensure the ice cream balls are very firm before breading to prevent melting while frying.
