Fried Ice Cream
A big scoop of Fried Ice Cream is a great way to cool off on hot summer days. I love the crispy outer shell with the smooth, cold ice cream in the center!

Ingredients
- 3 c vanilla ice cream
- 3 c. corn flakes crushed
- 2 c. coconut flakes
- 4 tsp. cinnamon or to taste
- 1 1/2 c corn syrup
- oil for frying
- Chocolate Topping
- caramel topping
- Whipped Cream
- cherries
Instructions
- Scoop out medium-sized scoops of ice cream (appx. 1 cup size) and roll into balls (you can do this using gloves so your hands don't get all sticky). Freeze for about an hour roll.
- Meanwhile, combine corn flakes, coconut, and cinnamon and divide into two equal portions. Put one potion in a Ziploc bag to use later and put the remaining portion in a bowl. Roll ice cream balls in corn flake mixture. Put on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
- Coat ice cream balls with corn syrup and roll in remaining mixture (the one you put in the plastic bag). You want the balls completely coated, so if needs be, re-coat the balls with corn syrup and roll again in the mixture.
- Freeze another hour or so.
- Heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 400 degrees. One at a time, lower the balls into the oil and fry until golden brown (about 30-45 seconds). Remove from the oil and place on a bowl or small plate.
- Drizzle with chocolate and/or caramel and top whipped cream and a cherry. Repeat with the remaining ice cream balls. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Nutrition does not include toppings.
- Scoop out medium-sized scoops of ice cream, about one cup each in size. You'll use your hands to roll into balls. The best way to do this is use gloves so your hands don't get sticky (and cold!)
- Pop them in the freezer for at least eight hours but preferably longer, like overnight.
- If you're under a time constraint and don't have all day to make these, you can use a smaller ice cream scoop so they will freeze faster.
