It is important that the ice cream balls are well frozen to make the delicious fried ice cream.
When the ice cream balls are totally frozen, prepare the following ingredients: eggs, crushed corn flakes, whipped cream and hot fudge. Begin by beating the eggs thoroughly and then dipping all the ice cream balls into it. Coat the balls with crushed corn flakes right after. Place them back into the cookie sheet and then freeze for a couple of hours.
Use a deep fryer to cook the ice cream balls. Ensure that the oil is hot before frying them. Place the balls in a frying basket and let it fry for 10-15 seconds, tops. Serve it in a serving plate drizzled with hot fudge and whipped cream. Voila! A wonderful and unique dessert made from your favorite ice cream.
