Equipment

  • air fryer
  • ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream (about 1/2 cup each)
  • 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal, finely crushed
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • Whipped Cream, for serving
  • 2 tbsp Honey, for drizzling
  • 2 tbsp Chocolate Sauce, for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Using a large ice cream scoop, form 4 firm, round balls of vanilla ice cream and place them on the parchment. Freeze for at least 1 hour until the scoops are rock solid.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the finely crushed cinnamon toast crunch cereal, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
  • Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Working quickly, roll each ball in the cereal mixture, pressing the crumbs firmly into the surface to create a thick, even coating. If the ice cream begins to soften, return the balls to the freezer for 10 minutes, then continue coating.
    For the best results, do a double coat - freeze the coated balls for 15 minutes, then roll them in the crumb mixture a second time.
  • Place the fully coated ice cream balls on the parchment-lined sheet and freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight. They must be frozen completely solid for this to work.
  • When ready to serve, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Line the basket with a small piece of parchment paper. Place the frozen balls in the basket and air fry for 60 to 90 seconds only - just enough time for the cereal coating to turn extra crispy while the ice cream stays frozen inside.
  • Immediately transfer each fried ice cream ball to a serving bowl. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, and chocolate sauce. Serve right away before the ice cream begins to melt.
