Follow these easy steps to create your Fried Ice Cream Dessert Bars:

1. Scoop Ice Cream: Scoop the ice cream into small round balls (about 2 inches in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up.
3. Prepare Cornflake Coating: In a large bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, ground cinnamon, and half of the sugar.
4. Make Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the vanilla extract.
5. Coat Ice Cream Balls: Once the ice cream is solid, dip each ball into the flour, covering completely. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
6. Freeze Again: Place the coated ice cream balls back in the freezer for an additional 30 minutes before frying.
7. Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
8. Fry Ice Cream: Fry the coated ice cream balls, a few at a time, for about 10-15 seconds or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent excessive browning.
9. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried balls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
10. Serve: Allow them to cool for a minute or two before serving with your favorite toppings.
