Time 9h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 liters vanilla ice cream
1 box unsweetened corn flakes, finely crushed
1/4-1/2 cup sugar, to taste
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 eggs, well beaten
vegetable oil, for frying
ice cream topping (cherries, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, nuts)

Steps:

The night before you want to make this, take the ice cream and scoop it into balls, making sure they are solid with no air pockets.
Place them in a shallow pan, lined with wax paper, that you can put into the freezer.
Freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Next, combine the crushed cornflakes, sugar and cinnamon in a large ziplock bag.
Put the beaten eggs into a bowl.
Take the ice cream balls and coat them as best you can with the cornflake mixture.
Then dip the whole thing into the egg mixture and re-coat it with cornflakes, making sure the whole ball is well covered.
Return to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
When you are ready for the final step, use a good deep fryer, and heat it to a fairly high temperature.
Remove one ice cream ball from the freezer and drop into the hot vegetable oil for about 30 seconds, or until it just begins to brown.
Take it out of the oil and put in a bowl to serve.
You can top it with your favourite ingredients like chocolate sauce, whipped cream or cherries--or all three!
The shell should be cooked and crunchy, and the inside will still be frozen!
