Fried ice cream

Farwah Tasnim

Fried ice cream is one of my favorite Mexican dessert that I had when I was visiting Adelaide, Australia. Fell in love with the cuisine right then and there and I recreate this at home whenever possible. If you have the ingredients, you can make it within 10-15 minutes (excluding the time you need to deep fridge the prepped dish). We Bengalis always add/deduce something to recipes we find and I would love to know if you guys share something that will make it taste even better. So, here goes:
Ingredients:

•    Vanilla ice cream - a few scoops
•    Crushed corn flakes (I use Kellogg’s original corn flakes) - 2 cups
•    Egg whites (beaten) - 2
•    Cinnamon powder - 1/2 tea spoon
•    Sugar (if you have a sweet tooth, otherwise, I do not use it) - 2 teaspoon
•    Whipped cream/cherry/honey/chocolate sauce - for serving (optional)

Process:

Scoop the ice-cream in symmetrical balls and place them in a baking sheet. Harden the ice-cream balls in the freezer.

In a bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes, cinnamon powder and sugar. In another bowl, keep the beaten egg white.

Once the ice-cream balls are hardened (try keeping them in the freezer for 2 hours), get them out. Roll them first in the crushed cornflakes mixture bowl, then roll them in the egg white and then roll them back on the crushed cornflakes mixture bowl.

Return the ice-cream balls to the baking sheet and deep freeze it again for another hour. Such deep freezing and re deep freezing is necessary to make ice cream sandwiches/ice-cream fries, etc.
Heat oil in a pan and deep fry it till golden. Serve as soon as it is done with a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry on top or honey or chocolate sauce as per taste. I love it without anything! Happy cooking!
