Mexican Fried Ice Cream

Ingredients

* ½ cup vegetable oil
* 2 flour tortillas
* ½ teaspoon cinnamon
* 2 Tablespoons sugar
* ¼ cup cornflake crumbs
* 2 large scoops vanilla ice cream
* Whipped cream in a can
* 2 maraschino cherries with stems

Optional toppings: honey, chocolate syrup, strawberries

Procedure

1. Fry each tortilla, one at a time, in hot oil over medium to high heat until crispy.
2. This should take about one minute on each side.
3. Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
4. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over both sides of the fried tortillas, coating evenly. (Not all of the sugar mixture will stick to the tortillas.)
5. Combine the other half of the cinnamon mixture with the corn flake crumbs in another small bowl.
6. Pour the corn flake mixture into a wide shallow bowl or plate.
7. Place a large scoop of ice cream in the corn flake crumbs and roll the ice cream around until the entire surface is evenly and completely coated with corn flake crumbs. (You should not be able to see any ice cream.)
8. Place the ice cream scoop on the center of the cinnamon/sugar-coated tortilla.
9. Spray whipped cream around the base of the ice cream.
10. Spray an additional pile of whipped cream on top of the ice cream.
11. Put a cherry in the top pile of whipped cream.
12. Repeat for the remaining scoop of ice cream.
