Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (500 ml) vanilla ice cream (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (100 g) cornflakes (crushed lightly)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

  1. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into 4 equal-sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap or wax paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours (or until firm).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk and egg, then add to the dry ingredients; mix until smooth.
  3. Crush the cornflakes in a resealable bag or using a rolling pin. Mix in cinnamon if using.
  4. Remove ice cream balls from the freezer. Dip each ball in the batter, coating evenly. Roll in the crushed cornflakes until fully covered.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in the frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Gently place one ice cream ball in the hot oil and fry for about 10-15 seconds, turning to brown evenly. Using a slotted spoon, remove and drain on a cooling rack.
  6. Serve fried ice cream hot, optionally with chocolate or caramel sauce drizzled on top.
