Ingredients

• 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream (or flavor of choice)
• 2 cups Cornflakes (crushed)
• 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0 to taste Chocolate syrup or caramel sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Scoop ice cream into 4 round balls and place them on a lined baking tray. Freeze them for at least 1 hour, or until they are completely firm.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and sweetened shredded coconut (if using).

Step 3

Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Roll each ball in the flour, coating it evenly. Dip it into the egg mixture, then roll it in the cornflake-coconut mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.

Step 6

Repeat the egg and cornflake coating step one more time for each ice cream ball, ensuring a thick, even coating. Return the coated ice cream balls to the baking tray and freeze for another 1-2 hours or until very firm.

Step 7

In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower one coated ice cream ball into the hot oil. Fry for 10-15 seconds, just until the coating turns golden brown. Repeat with the remaining ice cream balls, frying one at a time.

Step 9

Remove the fried ice cream from the oil and drain briefly on a paper towel.

Step 10

Serve immediately with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or your favorite topping if desired.
