Ingredients

  • 4 large scoops ice cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Fried Topping

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups corn flakes crushed
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Toppings

  • Whipped Cream
  • Hot fudge sauce
  • cherries

Instructions

  • Scoop the ice cream and shape into a round ball. Place on a baking sheet or plate and put into the freezer for at least 3 hours.
  • Crush the corn flakes, sprinkle with cinnamon. Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the corn flakes and saute for about 3 minutes or until the corn flakes are toasted.
  • In a small bowl combine the white sugar and remaining cinnamon.
  • Take the ice cream from the freezer, roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then coat with the toasted corn flakes. It's easiest to set the ice cream down and press the crumbs into the ice cream.
  • Top with hot fudge, whipped cream and cherry.
