Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Cornflakes Cereal, crushed
  • 1 cup coconut
  • cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon corn syrup
  • teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ gallon vanilla ice cream
  • whipped cream, for topping
  • hot fudge, for topping
  • caramel, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Crush cornflakes in a bag using a rolling pin until crumbs form.
  • Melt butter and add cornflakes, coconut, sugar, corn syrup, and cinnamon.
  • Roll ice cream into 3 inch balls. To roll the ice cream into balls, only thaw the ice cream slightly so you can easily roll it with your hands. You could even wear plastic gloves to make rolling the balls easier.
  • Then roll the ball in the cornflake mixture. You may need to pack the mixture firmly around the ice cream ball.
  • Place the covered ball onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.
  • Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, hot fudge and caramel.
