Place a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet or plate.

Scoop out 4 medium to large balls of vanilla ice cream, about the size of an orange, and place them on the sheet.

Freeze the ice cream balls for at least 1 hour to solidify.

In a bag, add 2 cups of sweetened corn flakes and mash them up, leaving some texture.

Add the crushed corn flakes to a shallow dish along with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of sweetened coconut flakes, and mix together.

In a separate bowl, beat together 2 eggs.

Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer after 1 hour.

Working with one ice cream ball at a time, roll it into the dry mixture, pressing it in, then dip it into the egg mixture, shaking off the excess, and dip it back into the dry mixture, pressing to coat well.

Return the coated ice cream balls to the plate and freeze for 1-2 more hours to solidify.

Add about 4 inches of oil into a heavy-duty pot and heat it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Leave the ice cream in the freezer until ready to fry, then carefully lower them into the oil one at a time.

Fry for about 20 seconds, or until they deepen in color and become golden.

Remove from oil and place on a plate.

Serve immediately with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and a cherry on top.
