Fried Ice Cream

a very delicious hot and cold fried food

1 quart vanilla ice cream, good quality
5 cups corn flakes, crushed
1 cup flaked coconut
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
2 quarts oil for deep frying

You will need to make 5 scoops of ice cream from a quart size container.
Drop the scoops of ice cream onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.

Place the ice cream into the freezer for at least an hour to firm up the ice cream

Put the corn flakes in a plastic bag.
Pound the corn flakes with a rolling pin or crush the corn flakes anyway you'd like...just crush them.
Put the crushed corn flakes into a shallow bowl.

Add 1 cup coconut.
Add one tablespoon cinnamon.  Set aside.

In shallow bowl add 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon milk.
Mix together with a fork.

Remove the ice cream from the freezer and roll into the corn flake mixture.

This is the time to pack and form them into a ball.  Pretend that your are packing a snowball.  Pack  the corn flake mixture hard around the ice cream.

Place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
Roll the ice cream balls into the egg mixture
Then roll into the corn flake mixture again..

Place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper and return to the freezer for at least an hour.  The ice cream needs to be very hard because it will be dropped into hot oil.
Heat oil in a heavy pot to 365 degrees.  Drop the ice cream into the hot oil and fry for 20-25 seconds.
Place on paper towels to adsorb the grease.  Serve immediately.

I personally love the fried ice cream drizzled with honey.

You can drizzle with whatever...chocolate...caramel....

My preference is honey and fresh strawberries.
Have a happy EATING TIME.  Celebrate!  Even if it's with chips and salsa.
