Hot ice cream - one of the most original and delicious types of dessert, which is not particularly complex. The idea of fried ice cream has its roots in Eastern cuisine, but there are many variations, among which the Mexican recipe for a cold dessert in a fried, crispy, and sweet shell stands out.

Cooking steps
Before starting cooking, every housewife can choose whether to prepare a dessert with an Eastern twist or a Mexican twist. Fried and hot to the touch, the ice cream will be a surprise for everyone at the table. To prepare this delicacy, you'll need the following ingredients:
- natural ice cream - 500 g;
- cornflakes – 6-7 cups;
- coconut flakes;
- chicken egg - 1 pc.;
- sunflower oil – half a glass.
Mexican- or Middle Eastern-style ice cream recipes vary depending on the ingredients used. Hot Chinese-style ice cream requires a dash of vanilla, while the Mexican version requires a teaspoon of cinnamon. Recipes for fried and cold ice cream are usually accompanied by numerous photos.
You can follow the cooking process with a camera. Your photos will help you follow the recipe exactly. Beforehand, place our ice cream, cut into 50-70g portions, in the freezer. The recipe may vary, but the essence remains roughly the same. Grind the cornflakes in a blender until they form a smooth powder. The fried dish will be ready and hold its shape when the breading is fine enough.
Beat the egg for the batter. First, roll the ice cream balls in corn flakes, then dip the finished ball in the batter, and only then dip it in ground corn flakes. The resulting balls, as shown in the photo, are placed back in the freezer.
The most important step in the preparation process is frying the ice cream. Pour sunflower oil into a small saucepan, and once the oil is hot, add the prepared balls for deep frying. The recipe calls for a quick frying, no more than 15-20 seconds. The key is to get a well-fried ice cream with a golden crust and the desired shape.
