Form ice cream into 4 balls. Place in a baking pan and freeze solid, about 2 hours. Mix cereal, sugar and cinnamon. Divide mix equally between 2 pie plates. Beat eggs with water. Roll each ice cream ball into crushed corn flakes, make sure corn flakes embed into ice cream balls. Dip ball in egg wash. Roll ice cream ball in second pan of crushed corn flakes, press corn flakes into ice cream again. Freeze ice cream for 6 hours. Shape tortilla into an hourglass form (with narrow waist) by cutting off curved slice from two opposite sides. One end will be the base for the ice cream, the other end is for decoration. Heat oil in wok or deep fryer. Place tortilla between two ladles or salad fork. Gently place tortilla in hot oil. Fry until crisp. Drain oil and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mix. Deep fry ice cream balls for 30-45 seconds. Place each fried tortilla in a large stemmed glass, with fan part of tortilla standing vertically above the glass. Set fried ice cream in base of tortilla. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Makes 4 servings.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
