Fried Ice Cream

This is so easy to make and it cuts out a few calories by not actually frying the ice cream. It is very tasty. I think next time I make this I am going to add some coconut to the cereal mixture to give it more of a nutty flavor. 

3 c. Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, crushed
6 scoops (1/2 c each) vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream, if desired
Maraschino cherries, if desired (I added a few chocolate sprinkles to mine)

Place cereal in shallow pan. Quickly roll 1 scoop of ice cream at a time in cereal to coat. Place coated scoops of ice cream on an ungreased baking sheet. Cover and freeze about 2 hours or until firm.

Set oven control to broil. Working quickly, uncover pan and broil coated scoops of ice cream with tops 6 inches from top of the oven where the heat source is for 30 seconds. Place in a dessert dish and top with whatever you desire.

A little hot fudge sauce is great on this too.
