This is restaurant quality. A couple changes here. I used Rice Crispies cereal instead of corn flakes and used chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. These are just what I had on hand and they worked perfectly. I let this chill overnight and it was perfectly whole. I went for the max amount of seconds, 15, and its way too much. I found that it should be 10, if that, so that is the only difference I'm making next time. Also, I did no measurements. Just poured plenty of cereal in a ziploc bag, sealed out the air and crushed with my hands til it was fine and sprinkled the cinnamon after frying. Like anything being fried, I find that double or triple coating helps maintain consistency. Last thing...a reviewer advised to chill after frying. You should opt for this if you want a more firm ice cream but if you want it warm and slightly melted, eat immediately. It's good either way. Feel free to experiment as well! This was lots of fun and very yummy :D. Update 10/20/09: 2 coats and 10 seconds cooks these babies to perfection and doesn't melt your ice cream. Also make sure your egg is beaten well otherwise its a gloppy mess. I will definitely be making these again and again, ty!

Try using Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal instead of Corn Flakes. Also, the reason why it fell apart for some people was because you didn't freeze the ice cream long enough. The best way to make fried ice cream is to prepare it the day before you plan on frying it. This way your cereal coated ice cream balls are nice and frozen. Also do the egg dip/cereal dip thing twice. Here is how it should be done: 1. Freeze the plain ice cream balls for 1-2 hours. 2. Dip in non-whipped beaten egg and roll in the cereal/cinnamon mixture. The freeze for 1-2 hours. 3. Dip in the beaten egg again and roll in the cereal/cinnamon mixture again and freeze for several hours (overnight is good) 4. Deep fry the cereal coated ice cream balls for 5 - 10 seconds. 5. Drizzle with honey and chocolate syrup. Top with whipped cream and a cherry.

This tasted fantastic, but I think I will try adding some nuts or coconut next time. I mixed cinnamon in with the whipping cream for topping, which was very tasty.

This is absolutely amazing. The only thing I would recommend is to add coconut to the concoction. It gives it added flavor. =)

Just like I remember! I used frosted flakes for my coating (I dipped in egg twice, and ended up using 2 beaten eggs), haagen daz for our vanilla ice cream, and let them set overnight before frying and serving. I didn't top mine with whipped cream, but did drizzle with honey. My family loved it!

Better than I could have hoped for!!! I increased the cinnamon to about 3t and also made the baked tortilla shells like another reviewer did. I topped with caramel, whipped cream, cinnamon, and sugar!! FABULOUS!!! I will definitely make again! It was a great presentation and tasted wonderful!

Put simply, this didn't work. Frying it served no purpose except to make a mess and decrease the size slightly. I was hoping the cereal would form a nice, hot outer shell, but was severely disappointed.

After reading through some of the reviews, I thought I would be more impressed with the results, but I wasn't. The only change I made when making these was to use frosted flakes instead of the regular corn flakes. My husband and kids enjoyed it though.

Made once with regular cornflakes, then again with Vanilla Almond Honey Bunches of Oats. Eh. It was certainly edible, but I felt like it was lacking. I've had better luck wrapping the ice cream balls in plain white bread, then frying. The taste of the ice cream comes through more that way, as opposed to super crispy cereal.

Great recipe. Made no variations. I did start 2 days before I served it and froze the ice cream. Then I coated it the next day. I did two layers of coating, freezing it in between. Make sure the oil is hot, if not the end result wont be as good. Definitely trying again.

I followed this recipe and even added the vanilla wafter crumbs. Unfortunately the crumbs didn't stick to the ice cream and just fell off when I fried it. Maybe my oil was too hot? The one (out of 15) that was eaten had a pretty good taste even though there weren't a lot of crumbs on it.
