🥘 Ingredients
Base
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream (premium high-butterfat)
Coating
  • 3 cups cornflakes (crushed)
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (granulated)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
Serving
  • 1/4 cup chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
📝 Instructions
  1. Scoop ice cream into 6 firm balls. Place on parchment-lined sheet. Freeze 2 hours until rock-solid. Shared 💡 Ice cream must be absolutely frozen solid — no shortcuts.
  2. Mix crushed cornflakes, coconut, sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Shared 💡 Crush cornflakes finely — big pieces do not stick well.
  3. Working quickly: roll each frozen ball in beaten egg, then press firmly into cornflake mixture. Return to freezer 30 minutes. Shared 💡 Work fast — melted ice cream ruins the coating.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F. Spray coated balls generously with cooking spray. Shared 💡 Oil spray is essential for golden browning.
  5. Place balls in pan. Air Fry 3-5 minutes until coating is golden and crispy. Top Oven 💡 The outside crisps while the inside stays frozen — magic!
  6. Serve immediately with chocolate sauce drizzle and whipped cream. Shared 💡 Timing is everything — serve the moment they come out.
💡 Ninja Tips

Ice cream must be frozen rock-solid — double-freeze between coatings. Work quickly. Serve immediately for the hot-cold contrast.

Scaling: Double: Two batches of 6. Half: 3 balls; halve coating.
