Ingredients

  • 3 cups (408g) 6 individual scoops of ice cream vanilla
  • 1 cup (30g) cinnamon toast crunch cereal crushed
  • caramel sauce and whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  • Use an ice cream scoop to form 6 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream. Place each individual scoop of vanilla ice cream in plastic, then wrap and roll ice cream balls.
  • Place the wrapped ice cream scoops on a baking sheet and into the freezer overnight or until frozen solid.
  • When you are ready to make air fried ice cream, remove the plastic wrap and use your hands to press the crushed cereal into all sides of the ice cream.
  • Place the coated ice cream balls into the air fryer basket and air fry for 1 minute at 400 degrees F / 204 degrees C.
  • Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
  • Garnish with caramel and whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  • Freeze large scoops of ice cream but make sure they fit in your air fryer basket. 
  • Use a muffin tin to help you make the frozen ice cream balls. Line each muffin tin cup with plastic wrap, scoop in the ice cream, then wrap to form a ball.
  • Wrap each ball of ice cream separately. 
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 12 hours and up to 72 hours. 
  • Don’t freeze ice cream balls for long periods as they are susceptible to freezer burn. 
  • Crush cereal into fin crumbs before coating.
  • If time allows, refreeze the ice cream for several hours after coating with cereal.
  • Place a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper under each ice cream ball for easy cleanup if you have any drips. 
  • Don’t crowd the air fryer. You may need to cook these one at a time. 
  • Serve immediately.
