Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 3 tablespoons Honey or chocolate syrup
- 4 pieces Maraschino cherries
Instructions
Scoop the vanilla ice cream into 4 evenly sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them for at least 1 hour to ensure they are firm.
In a large zip-top bag, add the cornflakes cereal and crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin. Alternatively, you can use a food processor.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cornflake mixture and stir continuously for about 3–5 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown and aromatic. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
Roll the frozen ice cream balls into the cooled cornflake mixture, pressing it gently with your hands to ensure the coating sticks evenly. Repeat until all the ice cream balls are fully coated.
Return the coated ice cream balls to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set.
When ready to serve, place each ice cream ball in a serving dish. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, drizzle with honey or chocolate syrup, and garnish with a maraschino cherry on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful Mexican Un-Fried Ice Cream!
