Recipe Serves: 4

Recipes Ingredients:

1 qt. vanilla ice cream
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup cornflake crumbs
oil for deep frying
1/4 cup honey
whipped cream
4 maraschino cherries

Recipe Instructions:

Let the Ice Cream stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Combine the cinnamon, Sugar and cornflake crumbs in a shallow pan. Using an ice-cream scoop, make 4 large balls of ice cream. Roll these balls in the crumb mixture to cover completely. Wrap in pieces of aluminum foil and freeze for 5 hours. Heat the oil to 450 degrees in a deep pan. As soon as it comes to heat, uncover the Ice Cream balls and deep-fry very briefly, about 2 seconds. Drain momentarily and place in dessert dishes. Top each ball with 1 tbsp. honey, a little whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
