Instructions

  1. Remove ice cream from freezer about 10-15 minutes before making to soften.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat, then add brown sugar and cinnamon and bring to a simmer.
  3. Simmer at a low boil for about 2 minutes, remove from heat, then stir in corn flakes.
  4. Press half of the buttery corn flake mixture into 9x13 baking dish, reserve the other half. Cool topping completely (I placed mine in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  5. Place softened ice cream into mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, add additional cinnamon and vanilla bean paste if desired, stir on low until smooth and combined. Pour over cooled corn flake crust and smooth to edges evenly.
  6. Press rest of corn flake crust into top of ice cream; pressing down lightly, cover with plastic wrap and freeze at least 5 hours or longer.
  7. Well covered this dessert will last 2-3 months in the freezer, if it lasts that long. See below for serving suggestions.
