The perfect Fried Ice Cream without the deep frying mess! Creamy vanilla ice cream is formed into rounds, then rolled through a sauteed buttery cinnamon cornflake topping and finished with chocolate or caramel sauce — talk about decadence!
Easy Fried Ice Cream without the Deep Fry!
Several months ago, I went to a local Mexican restaurant for dinner and finished with one of my favorite desserts, fried ice cream. As I sat there slowly savoring each bite and all of the delicious flavors it had to offer, I really thought about fried ice cream and asked myself, what is the purpose of frying it if you really are only frying the coating?
And yes, I'm sure some of you are sitting there saying, wait, fried ice cream is really fried in hot oil (no worries, that amazing reality hit me once upon a time too). Well, I thought, I'm going to try a cheater's fried ice cream.
This homemade fried ice cream has everything the normal version has to offer, but it lacks all the tedious steps, lengthy prep times and oily mess that comes along with the real deal. I decided to try simply frying (more of sauteing really) the corn flake coating and then rolling the ice cream in the coating.
Plus, butter vs. oil, that's a no brainer! Butter tastes way better so I went with butter instead for the sauteing.
I hope you have a chance to try this soon, especially if you've been scared away from preparing fried ice cream at home due to its frying method. You'll love this deliciously indulgent, easy to make dessert!
