Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey or caramel sauce
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)
- 4 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional)
Instructions
Scoop 4 evenly-sized balls of vanilla ice cream and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until they are firm.
In a food processor, crush the cornflakes cereal into smaller pieces. Be careful not to over-process; the texture should remain slightly coarse.
In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the crushed cornflakes, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir consistently for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture is golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Spread the cooled cornflake mixture onto a large, shallow plate.
Remove the frozen ice cream scoops from the freezer. Roll each scoop in the cornflake mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks evenly. Repeat until all the scoops are evenly coated.
Drizzle each coated ice cream ball with honey or caramel sauce for added sweetness.
Optionally, top each serving with whipped cream and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent, no-fry treat!
