I have been making this since I was about 15 years old... Don't let the ingredient list or directions throw you off from trying this... it really is an easy and inexpensive recipe... though it looks and taste so grand!!! As I have told my JAP friends... I hate to brag...BUT.... this is the best fried ice cream I have ever had anywhere! Go ahead... try it.... you will not only like it... but will love it! I made 70 of these for my daughter's 13th birthday party. (You really can make them ahead and keep frozen!)

    In a shallow bowl or pie plate: Roughly crush the corn flakes (plain or sweetened corn flakes) and mix together with the cinnamon.

  • Step 5
    Save remaining corn flake mixture.
  • Step 6
    Beat together the second egg mixture. Dip the frozen, coated ice cream balls in the egg mixture and roll into the cornflake mixture. Freeze until firm... at least an hour.
  • Step 7
    Heat enough oil in a pan to cover the ice cream balls. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry one ball at a time for about 15 to 20 seconds or until golden brown. Drain, pat dry on paper towels. Freeze!!!!
