We put a tasty twist on a restaurant-popular dessert: fried ice cream! Our Crunchy Almond Ice Cream Balls are "oven-fried" and coated in a crunchy crust made of toasted cereal and sliced almonds. It's a great treat!
What You'll Need
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 2 1/2 cups oven-toasted corn cereal, coarsely crushed
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
What to Do
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper. With an ice cream scoop, form eight ice cream balls, each about 2-1/2 inches in diameter. Place on baking sheet, then place in the freezer about 1 hour to firm up.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat another large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well and spread on prepared baking sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp. Remove to a shallow dish and allow to cool completely.
- Line baking sheet with clean wax paper. Remove ice cream balls from freezer and roll in cereal mixture, coating on all sides. Place on prepared baking sheet and freeze 2 to 3 hours, or until ice cream is firm. Serve immediately, or cover and keep frozen until ready to serve.
