Simple, delicious and... CHEAP! This great combination will impress your guests and is a treat to make. *make sure to keep your oil at 375* and count a quick 15sec max. Believe it or not, you can burn fried ice cream! Make these balls a day in advance and keep them in the remaining flakes while they chill in the coldest part of your freezer (bottom). I have made these several times and packing solid scoops that are nicely round and solid make it much easier.

I enjoy fried ice cream very much. It is one of my favorite desserts. Although this recipe is very similar to what you would get at a Mexican restaurant, I've found a way to make this dessert without frying it and with much more flavor. In a medium heat skillet, I combine 1/4 cup butter, 1/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut, 1/3 cup chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup flour. I stir everything until crumbly and golden brown. Then, I let it all cool down. I make the ice cream balls and roll them in the crumbly mixture and put them in the freezer covered until ready to serve. Then, I drizzle them with honey. I think this way is easier and has a lot more flavor.

Made this dessert recipe for our Cinco de Mayo party, it was a huge hit, I doubled the cinnamon and added about 2 tbsp sugar, also be sure you whip your egg whites well enough, it will make the cornflake mixture stick better, enjoy

Really good easy recipe. I added the Nilla wafers as some suggested and they came out fabulous. I also tried making the bowls with the tortilla and found the 6" flour tortillas worked better than the 8".

The oil part is messy, but overall, not hard to make. I would use larger ice cream balls next time.

I really thought this would be a difficult recipe, and that it would take way to long to make in a night. I was wrong. I made it in about 5 hours with two coatings of cereal.

The only thing I changed was to use Frosted Flakes to give it an even sweeter taste. And I also rolled them twice. My husband doesn't eat alot of ice-cream but he loved this
