Deep Fried Ice Cream

Directions

1. 1
   Place a plate or sheet pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
2. 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. 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. 4
   Once it's completely covered return it to the freezer.
5. 5
   In a medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of canola oil to 365 degrees F. 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.
6. 6
   Remove from oil and briefly drain on paper towels.
7. 7
   Stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
8. 8
   Coat fried ice cream in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
9. 9
   Serve immediately.
