Ingredients
- 20 oz. chocolate chip ice cream
- 2 cups corn flakes, crushed
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
- 3 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. water
- 1 - 8 inch flour tortilla
- Oil to deep fry
- Cinnamon and sugar mixed
- Whipped Cream
- Maraschino cherries
Method
Form ice cream into 4 balls. Place in a baking pan and freeze solid, about 2 hours. Mix cereal, sugar and cinnamon. Divide mix equally between 2 pie plates. Beat eggs with water. Roll each ice cream ball into crushed corn flakes, make sure corn flakes embed into ice cream balls. Dip ball in egg wash. Roll ice cream ball in second pan of crushed corn flakes, press corn flakes into ice cream again. Freeze ice cream for 6 hours. Shape tortilla into an hourglass form (with narrow waist) by cutting off curved slice from two opposite sides. One end will be the base for the ice cream, the other end is for decoration. Heat oil in wok or deep fryer. Place tortilla between two ladles or salad fork. Gently place tortilla in hot oil. Fry until crisp. Drain oil and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mix. Deep fry ice cream balls for 30-45 seconds. Place each fried tortilla in a large stemmed glass, with fan part of tortilla standing vertically above the glass. Set fried ice cream in base of tortilla. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Makes 4 servings.
