Un-Fried Ice Cream

I had a dinner party this weekend, and it was so fun!  I’ve forgotten how fun it is to have people over and to entertain… I see a few more of these events in my future!

Saturday was a super busy day.  Not only was I hosting a three lovely ladies at my home, but I also had a hair appointment midday.  Determined to squeeze everything in and create a fun evening, I prepped the meal on Friday night and simply had to put things in the oven before everyone arrived.

When you have a variety of people over, there’s always dietary preferences to consider.  It may just be what people LIKE to eat, but being a picky eater myself, I really do my best to accommodate my friends.  Thinking through what everyone liked, I decided to put together a maxi-meal.  I mean, who doesn’t love mexican food??

I made my (soon-to-be) famous one-sheet chicken fajitas with all the toppings, a big salad with creamy tomatillo ranch dressing, and these fun desserts.

This ice cream dessert brought back all of my 10 year old memories of being at a Chi-Chi’s.  Instead of being deep fried like the original, this recipe calls for you to simply roll the ice cream in crushed cereal and cinnamon.  Drizzling with honey and chocolate syrup + topping with whipped cream and a cherry, the perfect fiesta dessert is born!

Un-Fried Ice Cream

Adapted from Skinnytaste

Serves 6

3 cups light vanilla ice cream

2 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

4 tsp. honey

Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate syrup (optional)

cherry for topping (optional)

whipped cream (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.  With an ice cream scooper, scoop out 4 balls of ice cream 1/2 cup in size and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.  Wearing food gloves, form them into round snowball shapes.  Freeze for 2 hours, or overnight, until the ice cream is very hard.

3.  Pulverize the cereal in a food processor.  Add cinnamon and pulse.

4.  Place cereal mixture on a plate.  Using rubber gloves, roll the balls of ice cream in the cereal coating, packing them together into a smooth ball.  Return the coated ice cream to the baking sheet on fresh parchment, and freeze until ready to serve.

5.  To serve, drizzle with honey and/or chocolate syrup on top with whipped cream and cherry, if desired.
