Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Medium Saucepan
- Ice Cream Scoop
- Tray
- Wax paper or Parchment paper
Ingredients
For the Crispy Coating
- 1 box Corn Flakes Cereal (12-ounce)
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
For Serving
- 1/2 gallon Vanilla Ice Cream (or your favorite light variety)
- Honey (for drizzling)
- Whipped cream (light or dairy-free option)
- Maraschino Cherries (optional)
- Fresh Strawberries (optional)
- Chocolate Syrup (optional topping)
- Dulce de Leche (optional topping)
- Sweetened Coconut (optional topping)
Instructions
- Keep the Corn Flakes in their package and gently crush them into small flakes using a rolling pin. This helps create a fine, crispy coating.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook this mixture for about 4-5 minutes, or until it becomes bubbly and the sugar completely dissolves, creating a smooth, buttery syrup.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the crushed corn flakes. Mix well until all the flakes are evenly coated. Let this delicious mixture cool down completely.
- Using an ice cream scoop, quickly form firm vanilla ice cream into balls, roughly the size of a baseball. Work fast to prevent melting.
- Roll each ice cream ball thoroughly in the cooled corn flake mixture until it's completely covered with the crispy coating.
- Place the coated ice cream balls onto a tray lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 1-2 hours, or even overnight, until they are perfectly firm.
- When you're ready to serve these delightful treats, drizzle them with a touch of honey or a light caramel sauce. Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, or a few fresh diced strawberries for a vibrant summer twist.
