Fried Ice Cream

Ingredients:

1 Quart Vanilla Ice Cream

1 Cup Crushed Frosted Flakes

1 Cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes (or Chopped Walnuts or Cookie Crumbs)

2 Eggs

2 Tbs Sugar

Vegetable Oil

Hot Chocolate Sauce (Optional)

Whipped Cream (Optional)

Directions:

* With an ice cream scoop, form 4 large balls of ice cream. Place on waxed paper lined sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours

* In a bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs with either the coconut, walnuts or cookie crumbs (or any combination). Spread mixture in a shallow dish.

* Dip the ice cream balls in the crumb mixture and freeze for 30 minutes.

* In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Dip the coated ice cream balls into the eggs, then roll in the mixture – covering completely. Freeze for 1 hour. (If necessary, or for a thicker crust, roll again in eggs and crumb mixture until the balls are completely coated.

* Heat the oil in a large pot or fryer to 400 degrees. One at a time, lower the balls into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the oil and place in a dessert bowl. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and whipped cream, as desired. Repeat with the remaining ice cream.
