Fried Ice Cream

Author: Toni Anderson

Ingredients

  • Ice Cream
  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch
  • Chocolate Syrup

Instructions

  • Scoop ice cream into balls and place on baking sheet. Set in freezer until firm.
  • When ice cream has set, roll in cinnamon toast crunch (that has been slightly crushed). I tried rolling it with a spoon, but the best way is to pick up the ice cream and smoosh the cereal around the ice cream by cupping your hands.
  • Place back in the freezer to set.
  • Leave for about 2 hours or until the ice cream has firmed up.
  • Set the oven to broil.
  • Broil the ice cream about six inches from the top for about 30 seconds.
  • Top with chocolate syrup and serve.
  • You will not have leftovers.

    I would like to reach through my computer screen and take a bite. Oh how I wish it worked that way! All this baby wants me to eat is ice cream. And we ran out last night 🙁

    Looks delish!

    Our version of this is only slightly different… I use crushed up corn flakes instead of cinnamon toast crunch, don’t usually put it in the oven to broil, and top with caramel topping instead of chocolate. I’ll have to give your way a try sometime soon!

    It kind of makes you wonder who came up with this idea? Seriously, was someone just sitting around one day and thought….let’s put ice cream in the oven and see what happens?

    Loved the picture with your sis and Cora! Love the way she’s looking up at her.

    Oh, and you’re lucky I don’t live next door to you if you’re putting your crockpot outside…..I’m just sayin’…..

    Hmm, will have to try that-I have actually made fried ice cream, after reading about it in a Magic Key Magazine (original Disney Club for people who belonged through organizations such as the phone co.). I think they served it in one of the restaurants in the Magic Kingdom. Mine came out really well-hot outside, cold inside. Used a wok to fry it (the rest of the dinner was also mostly fried foods, lol, not usual in our house.). Thanks for the recipe!

    That is soooo not right! I just don’t think it’s fair to post something that looks so good without allowing all of us to eat it as well 🙂 No, but seriously- I’m gonna remember that easy recipe- my kids would love it (along with me of course).

    That looks really really delicious. I’m going to have to remember it for the next time we need a dessert fancier than the usual ice cream in a dish.

    I chuckled when I saw your first title – Easy Friend Ice Cream :)This looks amazing and I will definitely try this. Guess what? I found out that I met one of our mutual twitter friends – Family travel mom at our state home school conference. Were your ears burning? We were talking about you behind your back. 😉
    She’s a sweet heart.

    What a fabulous idea to use the cinnamon toast crunch! I’ve made it before with corn flakes and cinnamon, but this sounds so much better. Thanks for sharing!

    This is how we made fried ice cream in my college cafeteria, minus the freezing and broiling. It’s amazing how cinnamon toast crunch tastes like the traditional coating.
