• 2 liters vanilla ice cream
• 1 box unsweetened corn flakes, finely crushed
• 1/4-1/2 cup sugar, to taste
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 4 eggs, well beaten

Recipe

• 1 the night before you want to make this, take the ice cream and scoop it into balls, making sure they are solid with no air pockets.
• 2 place them in a shallow pan, lined with wax paper, that you can put into the freezer.
• 3 freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours.
• 4 next, combine the crushed cornflakes, sugar and cinnamon in a large ziplock bag.
• 5 put the beaten eggs into a bowl.
• 6 take the ice cream balls and coat them as best you can with the cornflake mixture.
• 7 then dip the whole thing into the egg mixture and re-coat it with cornflakes, making sure the whole ball is well covered.
• 8 return to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• 9 when you are ready for the final step, use a good deep fryer, and heat it to a fairly high temperature.
• 10 remove one ice cream ball from the freezer and drop into the hot vegetable oil for about 30 seconds, or until it just begins to brown.
• 11 take it out of the oil and put in a bowl to serve.
• 12 you can top it with your favourite ingredients like chocolate sauce, whipped cream or cherries--or all three!
• 13 the shell should be cooked and crunchy, and the inside will still be frozen!
