Mexican Fried Ice Cream  

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1 pint vanilla ice cream  

2 cups crushed cinnamon toast crunch cereal  

2 egg whites  

1 quart oil for frying  

Scoop ice cream into 4 – ½ cup-sized balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. In a shallow dish, combine cereal. In another dish, beat egg whites until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then in cereal, covering ice cream completely. Repeat if necessary. Freeze ice cream balls again until firm, around 3 hours.  

In deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Using a basket or slotted spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time for 10 to 15 seconds, until golden. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve immediately.
