Quick and Easy Fried Ice Cream Recipe

Fried ice cream is one of my family’s favorite treats. It takes a classic ice cream sundae to a whole other level! Traditionally, it’s deep-fried to achieve that crispy, golden brown outer shell. This version is made with toasted and crushed cornflake pieces to achieve that crispy goodness with no mess! It tastes just as good if not better than the traditional method! No hot oil or frying required! You can top your ice cream off with whatever toppings you’d like, but I always go for chocolate sauce and caramel sauce. (Find more delicious tips and variations below!) It’s a rich and decadent combination of flavors with the absolute best texture. It’s a great way to switch up desserts for the family. They will love it!

How to Make Easy Homemade Fried Ice Cream

It takes just over an hour to chill your ice cream molds, but trust me it’s well worth it! I like to pop these in the freezer while I make the rest of dinner and then we have a delicious Mexican-inspired dessert to have afterward!

Change Cereal: No cornflakes on hand? No problem! You can use things like cinnamon toast crunch cereal, fruity pebbles, captain crunch, or Reese’s puffs for a different twist on the flavor of the shell.Switch Ice Cream: For a more chocolatey version of fried ice cream, try using chocolate or cookies and cream ice cream with a crushed Oreo O’s shell! You can also make this dessert keto-friendly by swapping in this homemade keto ice cream to go with it!Toppings: Whipped cream, maraschino cherries, cool whip, coconut flakes, sliced bananas, sprinkles, and a chocolate or caramel drizzle are my favorite fixings for this treat. You can also add chopped nuts for a bit of extra texture.Use a Food Processor: To get your cereal crumbs to be more finely crushed, you can use a food processor for a few seconds at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

In the Freezer: Wrap each globe of fried ice cream in plastic wrap and store for up to 1 week. It’s ready to serve straight out of the freezer with your favorite toppings!
