Ingredients
1 quart high-quality vanilla ice cream
3 cups cornflakes, finely crushed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large egg whites
2 quarts canola or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Scoop the vanilla ice cream into eight uniform 1/2-cup balls.
Place scoops on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until completely firm, about 1 hour.
Combine crushed cornflakes and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until frothy.
Roll each frozen ice cream ball in egg whites, then coat thoroughly in the cornflake mixture.
Place balls back on the sheet and freeze for an additional 2 hours.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 375°F.
Fry each ball for 10 to 15 seconds until golden brown.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly. Use a high-quality ice cream for better stability. You can garnish with honey, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream before serving.
