     1/4  Teaspoon      Vanilla
   2 1/2  Cups          Sweetened corn flakes,

     1/2  Teaspoon      Ground cinnamon
   1                    Egg, beaten

Place 4 scoops (about 1/2 cup each) of ice cream in a small pan. 
Freeze for 1 hour or until firm.

In a small mixing bowl stir together first egg and vanilla. In a pie
plate carefully stir together cereal and cinnamon.

Dip each frozen ice cream ball in the egg mixture, then roll it in
cereal mixture, freeze for 1 hour or till firm.  Reserve remaining
cereal mixture.

In a small mixing bowl stir together second egg and vanilla. Remove
coated ice cream balls from the freezer.  Dip balls in egg mixture,
then roll them in the remaining cereal mixture. Return to pan. Cover
and freeze for several hours or till firm.

In a deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan fry frozen, coated ice cream
balls, 1 or 2 at a time, in deep hot oil (375 degrees F) for 15
seconds or till golden brown.

Drain on paper towels. Return the fried ice cream balls to the
freezer while frying the remaining balls.

Serve immediately and garnish with mint, if desired.
