Recipe - Another Deep Fried Ice Cream

1 Box of unsweetened
cornflakes, crunched to
dust (or as near as you
can
get!)

One fourth to One half cup sugar

2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

4 eggs, well beaten

Ice cream

Ok, the night before you want to make this (or in the morning...), take the
ice cream and scoop it into balls (tennis ball size). Make sure the balls
of ice cream are solid, no air pockets. You will likely have to use your
hands. Place them in a shallow pan that you can put into the freezer
(lined with wax paper). Freeze overnight, or at least 6 hours.

Next, combine the crushed cornflakes, sugar and cinnamon in a large (gallon
size) ziplock bag. Put the beaten eggs into a bowl.

Take the ice cream balls and coat them with the cornflake mixture, really
pressing it into the surface of the ball. Then, dip the whole thing into
the egg mixture and recoat it with cornflakes. Return to the freezer for
at least 2 hours. Make sure there are no "bald spots" anywhere on the ice
cream ball. You might need to dip into the egg and recoat with the
cornflakes one more time. Freeze for at LEAST 2 hours before you are going
to fry.

Use a good deep fryer, and heat it to a fairly high temperature (I don't
know exactly how hot this is, I never measured....). Immediately before you
want to serve, remove one ice cream ball from the freezer at a time, and
drop into the hot oil (use canola....) for about 30 seconds, or until it
just begins to brown. Take it out of the oil and put in a bowl to serve.
Top with really good stuff like hot fudge (lots....really lots...oh, sorry,
I'm thinking about this too much), whipped cream, nuts, anything else that
you might deem appropriate.

The shell should be cooked and crunchy, and the inside will still be frozen
(amazing, isn't it?). You can only cook one at a time, so if you have a
whole bunch to make, use more than one fryer. Let the oil return to the
high temperature before you add the next ball.
