- 1 tablespoon milk

### Instructions

1. **Prepare the Ice Cream Balls:**
    - Scoop out 2 large balls of ice cream and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    - Freeze the ice cream balls for at least 2 hours or until very firm.

2. **Prepare the Coating:**
    - In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, shredded coconut, and ground cinnamon.
    - In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
    - Place the flour in a separate bowl.

3. **Coat the Ice Cream:**
    - Roll each frozen ice cream ball in the flour, shaking off any excess.
    - Dip each ball into the egg mixture, then roll it in the cornflake mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
    - Repeat the egg and cornflake coating process to ensure a thick coating.
    - Place the coated ice cream balls back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

4. **Fry the Ice Cream:**
    - Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot on an induction stovetop to 375°F (190°C).
    - Using tongs, carefully lower each coated ice cream ball into the hot oil and fry for 10-15 seconds until golden brown.
    - Remove the fried ice cream balls with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

5. **Air Fryer Option (Alternative to Step 4):**
    - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
    - Place the coated ice cream balls in the air fryer basket and air fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
