Air Fryer Fried Ice Cream is such a treat and easier to make than you might think. It's vanilla ice cream coated in cinnamon sugar cereal and air fried so the inside is cool and creamy and the outside is crisp and crunchy. Top it with chocolate sauce and whipped cream and you have a dessert that is out of this world!
Scoop ice cream into four (4) 1 cup balls. I find it easiest to mold the ice cream into balls using my hands. Place the ice cream balls on a sheet pan or plate and freeze 1 hour until solid.
Add the cereal to a zipped top bag and crush the cereal using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer. You'll want the cereal pretty fine, but not a dust. If the pieces are too big, they won't stick to the ice cream. Add the crushed cereal to a shallow bowl.
Add the eggs to a separate mixing bowl and whisk.
After the ice cream balls have been in the freezer for at least 1 hour, take them out and roll the ice cream balls in the whisked eggs, then roll in the cereal, pressing the cereal into the ice cream. Roll in the eggs once again and again in the cereal again. Make sure to really pat the cereal on so it sticks.
Freeze the prepared ice cream balls for 4 hours or overnight.
Place an air fryer liner in the air fryer basket. Cook 1 ice cream ball at a time for 3-4 minutes in the air fryer at 350°F.
Drizzle with your favorite toppings and enjoy immediately.
