Instructions

  1. Preheat 3 inches of oil in a heavy-duty saucepan to 375 F and chill a serving plate.

  2. Scoop six 3-inch ice cream balls onto a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours until very firm.

  3. Combine cornflake crumbs, coconut, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

  4. Roll the firm ice cream balls in the crumb mixture, then refreeze for 30 minutes, reserving excess crumbs.

  5. Beat egg whites and sugar until foamy.

  6. Dip each coated ice cream ball into the egg mixture, then roll again in the reserved crumbs to coat completely. Freeze for 1 hour.

  7. Working one at a time, quickly flash-fry each frozen ice cream ball in the hot oil for 8 to 10 seconds until crisp and golden brown.

  8. Transfer immediately to the chilled plate and serve, optionally with sauce.
