Ingredients

1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream
6 cups corn flakes cereal or cinnamon toast crunch cereal
½ cup butter unsalted (1 stick)
2 teaspoons cinnamon ground

Toppings, optional

Whip cream or whipped topping, thawed

Hot fudge or chocolate topping

Maraschino cherries

Instructions

Set the ice cream out to soften for about 20-30 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (choose one that will fit in the freezer)
Add the cornflakes to a large resealable bag to crush or use a food processor to crush the flakes.
Use a rolling pin to crush cereal into fine crumbs.
Add the crumbs and cinnamon to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Stir in the crushed cereal and cinnamon and cook until golden brown and fragrant - about 2-3 minutes. Watch closely so the mixture doesn’t burn.
Remove from the heat and add the mixture to a large bowl, allow to cool.
Scoop the ice cream with a scooper, form it into balls with your hands, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Roll the ice cream balls in the cereal mixture, press it into the ice cream slightly, and return the coated ice cream to the baking sheet.
Return the sheet to the freezer until ready to serve.
To serve, add whip cream, chocolate, and cherry on top, if desired.
