Caramel Fried Ice Cream
Ingredients:
– 4 cups of vanilla ice cream
– 2 cups of cornflakes, crushed
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 2 tablespoons of sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 quart of vegetable oil for frying
– Caramel sauce, for topping
– Whipped cream, for garnish
– Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Using an ice cream scoop, form 4 large scoops of vanilla ice cream and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the scoops for at least 1 hour until they are firm.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the crushed cornflakes, ground cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
3. In a separate dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
4. Remove the ice cream scoops from the freezer. Roll each scoop in the cornflake mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then, dip each coated ice cream ball into the beaten eggs, followed by another coating of the cornflake mixture. Repeat this double-coating process for each scoop.
5. Place the coated ice cream balls back on the baking sheet and freeze them for an additional 30 minutes to set.
6. In a large heavy-bottomed pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
7. Carefully lower one coated ice cream ball into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for about 30 seconds or until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Take care not to overcook the ice cream. Remove the fried ice cream with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
8. Repeat the frying process with the remaining coated ice cream balls, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
9. Once all the ice cream balls are fried and drained, transfer them to serving plates. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce and top with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
10. Serve the Caramel Fried Ice Cream immediately while the coating is still crispy and the ice cream is cold. Enjoy the delightful contrast of textures and flavors!
