Ingredients Needed For Our Homemade Fried Ice Cream Recipe:

• Cornflakes cereal
• Coconut flakes
• Sugar
• Butter
• Corn syrup
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla ice cream
• Whipped cream (topping)
• Hot fudge (topping)
• Caramel (topping)

I love this recipe with the little bits of coconut, but I get that coconut isn’t for everyone. If you are looking for a quick and simple replacement, I highly recommend trying it without the coconut.

How To Make Our Homemade Fried Ice Cream Recipe:

Begin by getting a large ziplock bag and pour the cornflakes cereal, zip it up and use a rolling pin to crush the cornflakes until they are all smashed into crumbs.

Then, melt your butter down in a microwave safe bowl and then put it in a large mixing bowl and add in the cornflakes, coconut flakes, sugar, corn syrup, and cinnamon.

Mix everything together until they are well combined.

Now, get out a large cookie sheet sheet and line it with wax paper and set it aside for a minute.

Then, it is time to roll out the ice cream into 3 inch balls.

You will want to let the ice cream thaw very slightly so you can easily roll the ball with your hands. I’ll often use plastic gloves to make rolling the balls a little bit easier and a lot less easier.

Once the ice cream ball is made, roll the ice cream in the cornflake mixture and then firmly pack it all together to keep it together.

After the ball is rolled, place it on the lined cookie sheet and place it in the freezer and allow the balls to firm back up. That will take about 4 hours or so.

Then, when you are ready to serve the fried ice cream balls, serve them with your favorite toppings! We love to use whipped cream, hot fudge, and caramel!

To Make Easy Homemade Fried Ice Cream Recipe You Will Need:

1. Large ziplock bag
2. Rolling pin (THIS is a great one!)
3. Large mixing bowl
4. Large cookie sheet
5. Wax paper
6. Ice cream scoop
7. Plastic gloves

Delicious Caramel Sauce

If you want to put caramel sauce on your fried ice cream, make sure you do it with the best toppings! We absolutely love this treat with caramel sauce.

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cornflakes Cereal crushed
• 1 cup coconut
• ⅔ cup sugar
• ½ cup butter melted
• 1 Tablespoon corn syrup
• 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ gallon vanilla ice cream
• whipped cream for topping
• hot fudge for topping
• caramel for topping

Instructions

• Crush cornflakes in a bag using a rolling pin until crumbs form.

• Melt butter and add cornflakes, coconut, sugar, corn syrup, and cinnamon.

• Roll ice cream into 3 inch balls. To roll the ice cream into balls, only thaw the ice cream slightly so you can easily roll it with your hands. You could even wear plastic gloves to make rolling the balls easier. Then roll the ball in the cornflake mixture. You may need to pack the mixture firmly around the ice cream ball.

• Place the covered ball onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.

• Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

• When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, hot fudge and caramel.

Notes

• If you are looking for a quick and simple replacement for coconut, I highly recommend trying it without the coconut. There won’t be a huge difference, but it will still taste absolutely amazing.
