Description
Paloma’s Mexican Fried Ice Cream blends crispy cinnamon-coated vanilla ice cream with sweet caramel and chocolate drizzles. Crunchy corn flake coating and whipped cream complete this delightful dessert that celebrates traditional Mexican flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups (480 ml) corn flakes, crushed
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- whipped cream
- hot fudge sauce
- maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Preparation: Form four robust ice cream spheres using an ice cream scoop, arranging them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for three hours until completely solidified.
- Crumb Creation: Heat a skillet and melt butter until golden. Blend crushed corn flakes and cinnamon, stirring consistently to achieve a uniform toasted mixture with a rich, aromatic profile. Cool the crumb mixture to room temperature.
- Coating Process: Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Remove frozen ice cream spheres from freezer. Gently roll each sphere first through the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then carefully encase with the toasted corn flake crumble, pressing gently to ensure complete coverage.
- Serving: Transfer the coated ice cream spheres to serving plates. Embellish each dessert with a generous dollop of whipped cream, drizzle hot fudge sauce, and crown with a vibrant maraschino cherry. Serve immediately to maintain the delightful temperature and textural contrast.
Notes
- Freeze Firmly: Ensure ice cream spheres are rock-solid before coating to prevent melting during the breading process.
- Crisp Coating Technique: Toast corn flakes carefully to achieve a golden, crunchy texture without burning; stir constantly for even browning.
- Quick Assembly Strategy: Work swiftly when coating ice cream to maintain its frozen state and prevent premature melting.
- Temperature Control: Serve immediately after coating to preserve the crisp exterior and cold, creamy interior contrast.
