Ingredients

3 C. vanilla ice cream
2 egg whites
3 C. corn flakes
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

Using a round ice cream scooper, scoop 6, 1/2 C. portions. Place the ice cream balls on a tray and into the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Place the corn flakes in a plastic zippered bag with the cinnamon.
Use a rolling pin to crush the corn flakes into crumbs, pour them into a shallow dish.
Place the egg whites into a shallow dish. Use a whisk to beat them until they're foamy.
Roll the chilled ice cream balls into the egg whites, then into the crumbs.
Return the crumb-coated ice cream to the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours.
In a deep medium-sized sauce pan, heat the peanut oil to 375°F/ 190°C.
Fry the ice cream balls for 10-15 seconds and golden brown. Serve immediately.
