Ultimate Air Fryer Ice Cream

Cook time: 6 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 0 scoops vanilla ice cream firm
  • 0 parchment paper lined on baking sheet
  • 3 cups cornflakes crushed
  • 2 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0 parchment paper lined on baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Create firm balls of vanilla ice cream. Place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze these ice cream balls for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, until they are rock solid.
  2. In a bowl, crush the cornflakes until they are a fine crumb.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
  4. Working quickly to keep the ice cream frozen, take a frozen ice cream ball and quickly roll it in the crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to ensure an even coat.
  5. Then briefly dip the cornflake-coated ice cream ball into the egg and milk mixture. Allow any excess to drip off.
  6. Immediately transfer the wet ice cream ball back into the crushed cornflakes for a second coat.
  7. Place the fully coated ice cream balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for at least another 1-2 hours (or longer), ensuring they are completely frozen and firm before air frying. Do not skip this step!
  8. Carefully place 1-2 coated ice cream balls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for about 4 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
  9. Carefully remove the air-fried ice cream with tongs and serve immediately. Top with your favorite sauces or fresh fruit, if desired.
