Ingredients
500g Waitrose Madagascan Vanilla Ice Cream
175g digestive biscuits
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 Waitrose British Blacktail Free Range Eggs large
2 tsp whole milk
Unflavoured spray oil (such as sunflower)
Salted caramel, fudge, chocolate or other ice cream/dessert sauce, to serve
Method
Place a baking tray in the freezer to chill for
10 minutes. Line the tray with a sheet of baking
parchment. Working quickly, scoop the ice
cream into 6 balls and place onto the prepared
tray. Return to the freezer for 1 hour until firm
Crush the biscuits into a fine powder in a
food processor or large bowl using the end
of a rolling pin. Mix in the cinnamon. Working
1 ball at a time, roll the ice cream in the crushed
crumbs to coat, shaking off any excess. Return
to the tray and freeze for another hour, or until
firm. Keep the remaining crumbs.
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl.
Again, working quickly and 1 at a time, roll the
balls in the egg mixture, then in the remaining
crushed crumbs to coat evenly. Return to
the tray and freeze for at least 6 hours, or
preferably overnight, until very firm.
When ready to cook, line the air fryer with
a piece of baking parchment and preheat to
200ºC. Depending on the size of your air
fryer, you may need to cook in batches, as
overcrowding the basket may cause the ice
cream to melt. Remove the balls from the
freezer, spritz with the spray oil and quickly
place into the air fryer basket, 2 at a time if
necessary. Cook for 2 minutes, then serve
immediately, drizzled with your favourite
ice cream or dessert sauce.
Cook’s tip
If you don’t have an air fryer, preheat the oven to 240ºC, gas mark 9. Place the ice cream balls on their tray into the oven for 2 minutes, until golden.
