Baking Sheets
Parchment paper
- 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2.5 cups crushed corn flakes
- Optional: chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream and a cherry
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out 6-8 tennis-sized balls and place onto a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze the ice cream balls for at least 1 hour or until solid.
While the ice cream is freezing, crush the cornflakes in a plastic bag using a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor until they become coarse crumbs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, sugar, and cinnamon.
Pour the melted butter into the mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Place cornflake mixture on a baking sheet and bake for about 4-6 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Let cool for 15 minutes.
Take out the frozen ice cream balls and roll them into the cornflake mixture until they are fully coated.
Place the coated ice cream balls back on the parchment-lined tray and freeze again for at least 1 hour or until solid.
Take the ice cream balls out of the freezer and drizzle on your favorite toppings if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
