FAUX FRIED ICE CREAM

This was a fun dessert.  I actually used a different recipe, but used this one for the cinnamon roll idea.  I didn't really like the ice cream fried (or maybe I didn't do it right).  I think next time I would do it this way.  Plus less calories due to no oil.  Then I won't feel so bad having a cinnamon roll too :-)  The caramel cinnamon rolls were on sale.  Spread just a little of that frosting on top of the waffle.
But I really liked the topping here is the recipe I used:

5 cups corn flakes, crushed (had lots left - 3 should work)

1 cup flaked coconut

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 quart of vanilla ice cream
3 cups crushed corn flakes cereal (I crushed them in the food processor)
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
2 tsp of sugar
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (regular, not Grands)
chocolate sauce

Scoop ice cream into 8 – 1/2 cup size rounded balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

In a shallow dish combine crushed corn flakes, cinnamon and sugar. Roll the ice cream balls in the corn flake mixture, covering completely. Repeat as needed.  Freeze ice cream again, until firm (about 3 hours).

When ready to serve make cinnamon roll waffles.

Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. Heat waffle maker.

Separate dough into individual cinnamon rolls. Place up to 4 cinnamon rolls at a time on waffle maker. Close lid of waffle maker; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until light golden brown. 

Place cinnamon roll waffle on plate, top with ice cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

DOUBLE-COATED CHICKEN

DOUBLE-COATED CHICKEN
Jackson had fun helping me make this chicken. We all liked it. I think next time I would prefer regular corn flakes instead of Touch of Honey Corn Flakes.


7 cups Corn Flakes (crushed to 2 cups)
---
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
---
3 # chicken (we used drumsticks and had about 4#) rinsed and drained (did 1/2 with skin and 1/2 without)
---
3 Tbsp butter, melted

Place crushed corn flakes in a shallow bowl. Set aside.

In a medium bowl lightly beat together milk and egg. Add flour, salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Dip chicken in batter. Coat with cereal. Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet that has been covered with tin foil and sprayed with cooking spray.

Drizzle with butter.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. DO NOT cover pan or turn chicken while baking.
