Fried Ice Cream

Ingredients

1 quart ice cream, any flavor
1 cup crushed sugar frosted cornflakes
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, or 1 cup chopped walnuts, or 1 cup
cookie
crumbs
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying
Hot chocolate sauce, optional
Whipped cream, optional
Butterscotch sauce, optional

Directions

With an ice cream scoop, form 4 large balls of ice cream. Place on a
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 the 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 crumb mixture, coating completely. Freeze for 1 hour. (If necessary, or for a thicker crust, roll again in eggs and crumbs until the ice cream balls are completely coated.)

Heat the oil in a large pot or fryer to 400 degrees F. One at a time, lower the ice cream 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.

Makes 4-8 servings.
