Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 411kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pints ice cream any flavors (I used ½ pint of each of 3 flavors)
- ½ cup flour
- 3 egg whites
- 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal, crushed or cinnamon graham crackers, crushed
- Garnish: hot fudge sauce whipped cream, sprinkles, cherry
Instructions
- Freeze a muffin tin for 15 minutes.
- Scoop ice cream and form it into balls. Use about ¼ pint for each ball. Place each ball into the cold muffin tin and freeze for 1 hour. (Each pint will make 4 balls.)
- Place flour on a flat plate or in a large wide-mouthed bowl. Remove one ice cream ball at a time from the freezer and roll in the flour to coat. Place back in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Crush the cereal in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. You can also use a small chopper. Place on a large flat plate or a wide-mouthed bowl.
- In a wide-mouthed bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy.
- Remove ice cream balls, one at a time, from the freezer, and roll the balls in egg whites then into the crushed cereal. Make sure that the ice cream is completely covered. Return balls to the freezer for 4 hours or overnight.
- Make a small aluminum foil pan large enough to fit the ice cream ball with sides that extend upwards to enable you to lift the air fried ice cream out easily. You can also use ramekins as I did as they are more solid and easier to remove from the air fryer.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Place each coated ice cream ball into a foil bowl or ramekin and place in the air fryer. Cook at 400°F for 2 minutes. Cook only as many as you are serving and keep the remaining ones in the freezer. You may have to do them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
MAKE AHEAD
You can prepare and coat your ice cream balls, then freeze them solid in a plastic freezer bag or a freezer-safe container. They’ll keep nicely for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply air fry them as directed, and serve up a freshly crisped dessert anytime the craving strikes.
