Fried Ice Cream Cake

I love it when I get to try new recipes and today we had another birthday at work and she asked me to make her a cake..yay! Thanks Kalina! So I came across this fun cake and thought I would give it a try. I knew I loved fried ice cream so I figured with the reviews this cake got it was worth a try. The reviews I got at work were pretty good too and it definitely is pleasing to the eye when you see it. HERE is the original recipe from norinesnest.com. Mmmmm..I mean..just look at that! I double this recipe and use a 4L pail of ice cream and put it in a large tin pan. Made 24 squares.

Ingredients

3 cups crushed Corn Flakes cereal (make sure you measure it crushed)

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 cup butter

1 (1.75 quart) container Vanilla Ice Cream

1 (8oz) container Cool Whip

1/4 cup honey - optional (I felt with the caramel it was too much so I would probably leave it out next time)

Chocolate syrup

Caramel syrup

Instructions

1. Take the vanilla ice cream out of your freezer and let sit at room temperature for 30 mins or so, to soften. 

2. Melt butter in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the crushed corn flakes, sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Fry mixture for about 5 mins, stirring constantly, until cereal is golden-brown. Be careful not to burn. It may take less than 5 mins. 

3. Take a 9x13 baking dish and spread 1/2 corn flakes mixture into the bottom of pan. Set aside. 

4. in a large bowl, add the softened vanilla ice cream and cool whip. Using a spatula or large spoon, stir and mix well to combine. Spread ice cream mixture over the top of the corn flake mixture in the bottom of the pan. 

5. Spread the remaining corn flake mixture evenly over the ice cream. Drizzle the honey over the top. Cover pan, and place in freezer. Freeze ice cream for at least 5 hours or overnight. 

6. Cut into squares and sere with drizzles of chocolate syrup and caramel sauce. Add some whip cream and a cherry on top. YUM!
