I WAS SOOO AFRAID TO MAKE THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME. BUT THIS IS EASY! A FRIEND AND I MADE IT FOR A DINNER PARTY AND EVERYONE LOVED IT. WE ADDED CARMEL AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE TO TOP IT OFF AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. WE WILL BE MAKING THIS FOR MORE OF OUR PARTIES.

I had this great dessert about a million years ago while entertaining a client. I've always wondered how this was done and was thrilled to find the recipe. We used various flavors of ice cream and also skipped the middle step. Working quickly, we shaped our ice cream balls and then proceded with the dipping process. We then froze them for several hours as they really need to be rock hard before frying. My daughter made a suggestion to use pancake batter in lieu of the egg white. Next time we'll give it a try. Thanks so much Jeri for a really terrific and easy recipe!

I used coffee ice cream and coated it with 2 layers of corn flakes using 2 tsp. cinnamon. Coated it with caramel sauce then hot fudge. VERY good! Next time will also use chopped pecans.

I looked and looked for this recipe. Thanks for making it available. I served this at a Tex-Mex dinner party, I must say it was a hit! However instead of plain Cornflakes I used Honey & Nut Cornflakes and tripled the amount of cinnamon. I put the Cornflakes in a blender to crush them, (only took a few mintues). I served it on a tortillas that were brushed with melted butter on each side, warmed in frying pan and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Then I topped it all will Carmel and/or Butterscotch Topping. Delicious!!! Best Desset I've had in a long time.

Delicious! I've tried making fried ice cream so many times, and this recipe has turned out the best! Very simple, just make sure you let it all freeze for a long time - it makes all the difference! My hubby swoons over this dessert - thank you!!

I never had eaten or made this before, but it sounded delicious, so I had to try it- and I'm glad I did! Its amazing how simple ingredients turn out such a fine dessert. I gave mine a beautiful look by swirling carmel and honey over it. Will make again!

This is a great recipe! I have had fried ice cream several times at a tex-mex restaurant and have been looking for a recipe that is like theirs'. I've found it! I recommend rolling the ice cream balls in the crushed flakes twice. I also find it easier to form the balls the evening before and freeze them overnight before you roll them in coating. My husband has never had fried ice cream and loved this!! 5 Stars!

Yummy. We fried tortillas, sprinkled them with cinammon & sugar, then served the ice cream on top with honey & fresh whipped cream. A real treat, especially after making the tequilla lime chicken.

Absolutely delicious! I've been searching for this recipe for so long as this is one of my favorite desserts. Very easy to make, just a little time consuming. I would say you only need about 1/2 the amount of crumbs listed and increase the cinnamon as you can barely taste it. Definitely top it off with honey and whipped cream. Your company will be very impressed!

This was an excellent recipe--it tastes just like the fried ice cream at one of my favorite restaurants. I made this for a casual dinner party, and put hot fudge and whipped cream on top. Everyone raved about it. I added a lot more cinnamon than the recipe called for, though, because I didn't feel that the stated amount was enough. Although somewhat time consuming, I didn't think this was particularly difficult. I agree that the scoops of ice cream are easily shaped into a ball when you are rolling them in the coating. Also, the frying times turned out to be more like 5 to 10 seconds for me. I will definitely make this again!

This is a great recipe. A big hit at our house. At first I couldnt get the ice cream into a ball shape but once you coat the ice cream with the crumbs you can create the ball shape you need. Thanks for the corn flake crumb suggestion (next to the bread crumbs at the market). This is delicious. I will make it a million more times!

Since I moved to a small town, I haven't been able to get true fried ice cream. The Mexican restaurants here simply roll the ice cream in corn flakes. This recipe was so EASY and exactly as I remember real fried ice cream. I have been searching for this recipe and I am SO glad it was submitted! I do have one suggestion, though: buy the box of corn flake crumbs (it's next to bread crumbs in the grocery store). The crumbs are so much finer than you could make at home, and it makes a much better coating. I did dip the ice cream twice - you must have a really good coating for it to fry right. I will make this again and again and again......THANK YOU!!!

Excellent! Would suggest crushing the flakes finely - will coat the ice cream better resulting in a great crust.
