Mexican Fried Ice Cream

Storage:
Fried ice cream is best served immediately for the crispy exterior. If you have leftovers, store the uncoated ice cream balls in the freezer, but they may lose some of their crispy texture when reheated.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve these fried ice cream balls as an indulgent dessert at dinner parties or celebrations. They pair wonderfully with a cold beverage like iced tea or a margarita for a festive twist.

Variations:

Different Coatings:
Try swapping cornflakes with crushed graham crackers, crushed almonds, or even sweetened coconut flakes for a unique twist on the coating.

Ice Cream Flavors:
You can experiment with different ice cream flavors like chocolate, strawberry, or even coffee to add variety to the dessert.

FAQ:

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare and freeze the ice cream balls ahead of time, so the frying process is quick and easy when you’re ready to serve.

Can I bake the ice cream balls instead of frying them?
While frying gives the classic crispy texture, baking the balls in a hot oven (350°F or 175°C) for about 5 minutes can also work if you prefer a healthier version.
