~No-Fry Fried Ice Cream~

I'm obviously behind on this because I found this recipe right after Cinco de Mayo.  Someone posted a link to it on Facebook and I quickly bookmarked it.  Now I know exactly what I'll serve to guests whenever I serve dessert.  This. Was. Fabulous.  I mean, I'm a huge fried ice cream fan and almost always have it when I go to authentic Mexican restaurants.  Now I can have them all the time at home without even having to fry it!

Anyways, you're supposed to mix a few cups of corn flakes and mix them with sugar, corn syrup, melted butter and cinnamon.  I used Kellogg's frosted flakes so I didn't have to add any sugar.  Roll some scoops of ice cream in the cereal mixture and place them in a cupcake pan.  Then place them in the freezer until ready to serve.  I served them up with whipped cream and caramel sauce.  Yummy!

These hold very well in the freezer, by the way.  A week later, we were still enjoying these!
