A delightful dessert that mimics the classic fried ice cream without the oil, featuring crunchy corn flakes and chocolate fudge.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups Corn Flakes, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Cherry Chocolate Chunk ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
  • Fresh cherries (for topping)
  • Chocolate fudge (for topping)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for frosting, optional)
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar (for frosting, optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the corn flakes in a ziplock bag using a rolling pin or in a food processor until textured, not dust.
  2. Sauté the crushed corn flakes with melted butter and cinnamon in a frying pan for about 4 minutes.
  3. Prepare the muffin pan by lining it with plastic wrap.
  4. Scoop ice cream into the muffin pan cavities and freeze for about 30 minutes.
  5. Coat the frozen ice cream balls in the corn flake mixture and freeze for an additional 20 minutes.
  6. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form if making frosting.
  7. Serve the ice cream balls topped with whipped cream, chocolate fudge, and cherries.

Notes

Ensure ice cream is frozen enough before coating for the best texture. Don’t skip sautéing the corn flakes for added flavor.
