Scale
- 4 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Chocolate syrup or honey, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
- Scoop ice cream into 4 firm balls and place on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until very solid.
- In a shallow bowl, mix crushed cornflakes, cinnamon, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- Roll each ice cream ball in the cornflake mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, then roll again in the cornflakes to double coat.

- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or deep saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry each ice cream ball for about 10-15 seconds, just until golden. Remove quickly and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup or honey, and a cherry if desired.
Notes
- Work quickly during frying to prevent melting.
- You can prepare the coated ice cream balls ahead of time and keep them frozen until ready to fry.
- Try using flavored ice cream like cinnamon or chocolate for variety.
