Mexican Fried Ice Cream


 

1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup crushed corn flakes
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp sugar
1 egg
Good quality oil (peanut is best) for frying
Honey
Whipped cream

Scoop out 4 or 5 balls of ice cream.  Return to freezer.  Mix cornflake crumbs, cinnamon and sugar together.   Roll frozen ice cream balls in 1/2 crumb mixture and freeze again.   Beat egg and dip coated balls in egg, then roll again in remaining crumbs.  Freeze until ready to serve.

Heat oil to 350° and place a frozen ice cream ball on perforated spoon and lower into hot oil for 1 minute.  Immediately remove and put in dessert compote. Drizzle with honey and top with whipped cream (I whip my own….).

Continue to fry balls and top with honey and the whipped cream.  Balls will be crunchy but not melting.

Makes 4-5 servings.
