Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 pint ice cream, any flavor
• 1 loaf sliced bread
• 6 -8 cups canola oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Recipe

• 1 place a plate or sheet pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• 2 using a large ice cream scoop, make balls of ice cream and place them on the sheet pan then return them to the freezer.
• 3 cut the crusts off the sliced bread and using about 2 slices per ice cream ball, form the bread around the ice cream using your hands to pack it like a snow ball.
• 4 this works best if you turn 1 piece of the bread so that it is not directly over the other, so that you have 8 corners, like a star.
• 5 once it's completely covered return it to the freezer.
• 6 if some ice cream melts through the edge, just wipe it off.
• 7 in a medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of canola oil to 365 degrees f.
• 8 drop the covered ice cream balls, one at a time, into the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally so they color evenly, until golden brown on all sides.
• 9 remove from oil and briefly drain on paper towels.
• 10 stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
• 11 coat fried ice cream in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• 12 serve immediately.
• 13 i like it drizzled with caramel or chocolate fudge sauce.
