Fried Mexican Ice Cream
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup crushed corn flakes
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar
1 egg
Oil for deep frying
Honey
Whipped cream
Scoop out 4 or 5 balls of ice cream. Return to freezer. Mix corn flake crumbs, cinnamon, and sugar in shallow bowl. Roll frozen ice cream balls in 1/2 of crumb mixture. Freeze again.
Beat egg and dip coated balls in egg, then roll again in remaining crumbs. Freeze until ready to use.
When ready to serve, heat oil to 350 degrees. Place 1 frozen ice cream ball in fryer basket or on perforated spoon and lower into hot oil for 1 minute. Immediately remove and place in chilled dessert dish. Drizzle with honey and dollop with whipped cream.
Serve immediately or keep in freezer while continuing to fry remaining balls, 1 at a time. Balls will be crunchy on outside and just beginning to melt inside. Makes 4 to 5 servings.
