I love fried ice cream. Though I made my ice cream balls early that day and froze them. I aslo used my deep fryer and rolled them in frosted flakes (crushed well) and sweetened coconut flakes. When finished I topped mine with chocolate ice cream topping or caramel, my hubby perfers honey. Both with whip cream and a cherry on top. With a baked tortilla brushed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar on the side. (Try this with caramel ice cream too)

Very nice. I cut 1 cup of cornflakes out and added 1 cup of shredded coconut instead. Yumm!

These were pretty good although not quite like the ones at the local restaurant! I am still looking for a better one.

With some modifications, reminded me of the restaurant version I have had. Like others, I was hesitant to make (too difficult??) but it wasn't too challenging and was worth all the effort. Everyone enjoyed as a nice, creamy finish to our Mexican Fiesta Dinner!

I had this at a spanish restaurant years ago, and loved it, but never thought it was this easy to make. It was delicious! A great change from plain ice cream. Will make again and again.

I followed the modifications suggested by others. This is a challenging dessert because if it isn't frozen enough it splatters/pops in the deep fryer. With a little practice it could be perfect. It was pretty good. Close to the restaurant versions.

This recipie was fantastic! And I was not expecting much as I figured it would be very hard to make. Turns out this Fried Icecream is the best I have ever had, better than at the resturanuts. And you get to pick your own Vanilla. I used Edies Vanilla Bean. I added the embelishment of Hot Fudge and Carmel on top and served it on a Fried Tortilla coated with cinnemon and sugar. Delicious!

This recipe is not for the " lets make it now"... type of people. Time is of the essence... the more you freeze and re-freeze the ice cream balls......the better they come out.. (less time to un-freeze - (if that's a real word.....lol)... If you have the day before to prepare... they will surely come out much better... Enjoy!!! PS make sure your oil is really really HOT!!! And use a splatter screen to save your skin...!!!! ~Lisa

I used half corn flakes & half vanilla wafers & I did crush it in my food processor. I only made 4 balls & I froze my plate before scooping the ice cream into balls. That way, when you add the balls, the cold plate keeps them from softening for a couple of minutes. If you follow the directions & heat the oil up as specified, only fry one ball at a time (the coating came off when I tried to do two but I was using a small saucepan) & only fry for a few seconds ...they'll come out perfectly. Like JENNIFER72_00 , I made tortilla bowls but I sprinkled them w/ cinnamon sugar before baking. I drizzled them w/ white chocolate syrup, caramel syrup & toasted coconut after placing in the "bowls" & then garnished w/ whipped cream & a cherry. Lovely presentation & fantastic taste...was the perfect finish to a Mexican meal. Thanks for the recipe!

I'm sorry, but this fell apart faster than I could say stop. Then when I got then all together it started to stick, so I put it in the freezer and the it melted. It left overs were good though, so that is why I am giing it more than 2 stars.

Wonderful recipe! I stuck the frozen ice cream balls on wax paper in my freezer instead of using a cookie sheet, and also substituted frosted flakes for corn flakes....the end result....fabulous!!

YUM!!!!!!! Excellent, just like Chi-Chi's Mexican Restaurant! I used a mixture of corn flakes, cinnamon (lots) and crushed vanilla wafers, and coated the frozen ice cream balls in corn syrup instead of egg whites before rolling it in the dry mix. The frying part only takes a few seconds - be ready to take them out right away. I drizzled each one with honey and topped with whipped cream, and got rave reviews from everyone in the family! This was a great recipe and I am very impressed with myself that I was able to make fried ice cream just like the restaurants do! :)

This was the dessert I served at the end of a Mexican themed dinner party. My husband of 8 years proudly exclaimed that it his new favorite dessert recipe of mine. My guest were very intrigued by the thought of frying ice cream. Everyone loved it. The hardest part was scooping the ice cream fast enough that they didn't all melt. These are tips to make your fried ice cream a hit. Line a cookie sheet to freeze the scoops on. Make sure you have room in your freezer before scooping the ice cream. Use a bag to toss them in the cornflakes instead of a bowl. You can do steps 1 and 2 the day before you plan on frying them. Have a well organized "fry station" set up and don't take the ice cream scoops out until the oil is hot enough (make sure it is at 375). Don't forget the honey, whipped cream and the cherry. Serve this quickly and proudly and you will be the dessert queen/king.

This was so much work, I doubt I will ever do it again. Also, I tried to do the coating twice, but most of it just fell off the secondo time. Lots of work, and time, but it did taste good.

WOW!!! This is one good dessert. I've heard of this but never had it before and let me tell you it is good! I used Honey Nut Cereal instead of cornflakes because that's what we had and I omitted the cinnamon cause I'm not a very big fan of it. I've made it twice already, once with the egg white and once with light corn syrup. No difference at all. Also, as some other reviews suggested, I crushed the cereal in my processor. I had it topped with Sue's Hot Fudge Sauce (also found on this site) and I was in heaven! Thanks for the great post!
