Homemade Mexican Fried Ice Cream
Inspired by the state fair this homemade Mexican fried ice cream is a fun dessert and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, or ice cream flavor of your choice
- 1 1/2 cups cornflakes or flakes from Honey Bunches of oats
- 2 tsp cinnamon for cereal
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp cinnamon for chocolate sauce
- whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- Heat heavy cream on stove. Once it begins to boil, remove from heat and pour into a medium glass bowl that contains chopped chocolate. Add in the 1tsp cinnamon and stir with a whisk until chocolate is completely melted.
- Let ice cream soften slightly on counter for a few minutes so that it will be easy to scoop. Pour cereal into a medium sizes bowl. I crushed my flakes slightly so that they would be smaller. Sprinkle 2 tsp of cinnamon and mix so that cereal is coated in the cinnamon.
- Take an ice cream scoop and scoop one generous round scoop of ice cream. Then remove the scoop and place directly into the cereal bowl. Roll the ice cream ball around until all sides are coated with cereal. Gently remove ice cream and place into serving bowl.
- Top with whipped cream if desired, or in my case, an additional scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then drizzle with chocolate. I put the chocolate sauce into a ziploc bag, cut a tiny hole and then piped it out. You can also garnish with a few cinnamon dusted tortilla chips, as I've seen them do at the fair.
