1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
2 Lg Egg Yolks --Lightly Beaten
3/4 C Flat Beer
8 Ice Cream Balls; Any Flavor -- About 1 Quart

Refrigerate overnight. Also, the day before serving, coat the ice cream
balls thoroughly with the crushed cornflakes. Place the ice cream balls
in the coldest part of the freezer and freeze overnight. When ready to
serve, heat the peanut oil, in a deep fat fryer or deep pot, to 375
Degrees F.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter. Coat 2 or
three of the ice cream balls completely and heavily with the batter and
add to the hot oil. Turn up the heat to maintain a temperature of 375

Fried Ice Cream 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients
½ cup vegetable oil
2 flour tortillas, 6 inch each
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tbs. 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
Fry each tortilla, one at a time in hot oil over medium/high heat until crispy. This should take about one minute on each side.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
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 and that's okay.
Combine the other half of the cinnamon mixture with the corn flake crumbs in another small bowl. Pour the corn flake mixture into a wide shallow bowl or plate.
Place a large scoop of ice cream in the corn flake crumbs and with your hands roll the ice cream around until the entire surface is evenly coated with corn flake crumbs. You should not be able to see any ice cream.
Place the ice cream scoop on the center of the cinnamon/sugar coated tortilla.
Spray whipped cream around the base of the ice cream. Spray an additional pile of ice cream on top of the ice cream. Put a cherry in the top pile of whipped cream.
Repeat for the remaining scoop of ice cream.
