Ingredients

1 quart vanilla ice cream
3 cups fine corn flake crumbs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 egg whites
Oil for deep frying
1 cup whipped cream
1/2 cup honey
8 maraschino cherries

Directions

1Scoop ice cream into 8 balls, using about 1/2 cup per ball. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. In shallow dish, combine crumbs and cinnamon. In another shallow dish, beat egg whites with fork until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then crumb mixture, covering ice cream completely to avoid leakage during frying. Roll in egg whites and crumbs a second time, if necessary to cover completely. Freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
2In deep fryer or heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375°F. Using basket or slotted spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time for 10 to 15 seconds or until golden brown. Drain quickly on paper towels. Return to freezer while frying remaining ice cream balls. Serve immediately with whipped cream, honey and cherries.

I should have been more clear concerning the Sauces. They should be 'drizzled' over the balls, not 'covered' all over - the ice cream is the real treat!

Finely, the 'secret' method of HOW to make Fried Ice Cream Balls! I was a young adult the first time I enjoyed this dessert at a Mexican restaurant. What a great surprise to make in advance, to serve at a pre-planned group Mexican Fiesta at home! It seems that it does not have to be served 'hot' just after being fried. Finish frying all the prepared ice cream balls - putting each back into the freezer as soon as you have completed each one. When serving you may heat the Hot Fudge or Caramel Sauces to pour over the finished balls! If using Honey or Strawberry Sauce (or any other fruit sauce) simply serve that Sauce at room temperature! Top with Whipped Cream and a Maraschino Cherry upon each serving. YUM!!!
