Not Fried, Fried Ice Cream
"Can't remember where I found this recipe, but it's great for Mexican night, or Cinco De Mayo!! (New Note: If you use the new Special K cereal with cinnamon and pecans, this is REAL delicious! Add the sugar and not as much cinnamon, no butter, and you don't have to bake it! Very crunchy and SO DELICIOUS!!! I used about 1 1/4 C Special K.)"

Was served this dessert at sweet sister's dinner. She drizzled carmel sauce over it - we loved the crunchy part so much that we even added that sprinkled on top. -
It is very hard to find a non-fried fried ice-cream recipe. This was very easy recipe and turned out super yummy! I used Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds cereal and brown sugar instead of white sugar. I also drizzled chocolate syrup with the honey. Totally yummy and very simple! -
I thought these turned out so tasty! I ended up using honey bunches of oats for the cereal. (can't remember which flavor). And we drizzled caramel over the top. They turned out so good. I had cereal mixture left over and we ate it plain and on bananas later. Yummy -
Excellent recipe and lots of compliments from our mexican dinner party! Will definitely do again! I used Honey Bunches of Oats. Drizzled honey on some of them and chocolate on the others and topped with almonds -
Loved this recipe. So easy and tastes just like "fried" ice cream without all the fuss. I drizzled it with chocolate sauce and some whipped cream just to make it pretty. It got great reviews when I served it for dessert following a meal of fajitas. I highly recommend!

I subbed fat free vanilla frozen yogurt and ICBINB for the butter, to make it a little more diet friendly for me! This is yummy! It's also great with a little chocolate syrup on top instead of the honey...or made into a banana split (as my fiance did!).

This tasted wonderful. If you don't have time to freeze the ice cream into ball shapes, the topping tastes wonderful just sprinkling it over a bowl of ice cream. I used chocolate syrup instead of honey and thought that was really good as well.

This is tastier and crispier than what I've had at the restaurants and easy on the budget rather than paying $3-4 for one serving. I used granular splenda instead of sugar and sprayed the cornflake mixture with the cooking spray like Oriana suggested and it turned out great. Watch the mixture closely in the oven to avoid burning. I think it took about 5- 6 minutes in my oven. I topped it with a little bit of honey, whipped topping, sprinkles at my son's request, and a maraschino cherry. Great make-ahead dessert. Ole! -
This was excellent. Tasted great and better than fried fatty icecream balls. NExt time I plan to make it even less fattening by using cooking spray over the cornflakes instead of butter and splenda instead of sugar to see how it tastes but otherwise I will use the recipe as is. I omitted the cinnamon and used nestle light n creamy strawberry and passionfruit icecream it was delish!

Hello!
I am a thirty-nine year old mom with two children.
I am originally from Xenia, Ohio where I have lived longer than anywhere, but have lived in many different places. Ohio is one of my favorite states...I love the different seasons here!
I love to remodel and decorate homes, when I have the time, and of course, I'm very passionate about cooking!!
There is a long line of great cooks in my family and I am trying to put together a cookbook for them, from recipes they've shared with me. I have no favorite cookbook...I love picking up new (even better...very old) ones from yard sales, Ebay, Amazon, or wherever I find a good book with a good deal!
Love the Food Network and my favs to watch, when I have the time, are Giada De Lorentis & Tyler Florence.
