Sundaes BestWhen you're short on time, you can easily add some frosty fun to dinnertime by serving up a variety of toppings and sauces and letting family members concoct their own scrumptious sundaes. Or scoop up one of these sweet and simple suggestions and treat your family to a refreshing dessert: Drizzle chocolate sauce over a scoop of strawberry ice cream and top with sliced berries and kiwi. Dollop with whipped cream. Instead of the usual chocolate sauce, top vanilla ice cream with warmed orange marmalade and a few fresh berries. For a super chocolaty treat, place a scoop of chocolate or chocolate mint ice cream on a brownie and pour on the hot fudge sauce. Add a spoonful of whipped cream, sprinkle with peanuts and accent with a maraschino cherry or a chocolate kiss. Like s'mores? You'll love this! Dress up a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs. Give a tropical-flavored ice cream added appeal with canned mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Serve with gingersnaps.

Fun idea for dessert. Everyone loved it from kids to adults! I did use 1/4 of cinnamon sugar already mixed and it was perfect.

So Good! This is an awesome recipe when you don't have time to bake. Perfect weekday dessert and for entertaining. I used 'no sugar added' vanilla ice cream and Truvia instead of sugar. Also, because I had no cornflakes, I crushed up some Frosted Cheerios...excellent! Thanks!!

This has become a family favorite! It is super easy to make, and does taste exactly like what we get at our local Mexican restaurant. I also use smaller scoops, mainly because the topping is so good that we like to have a little bit in every bite! Kids request this often!

Taste just like the restaurant's version. I added a fried tortilla dipped in cinnamon and sugar placed underneath the ice-cream ball. Also added whipped cream and chocolate syrup. A very simple and delicious dessert. Thanks.

For a Mexican ice cream that is not fried, this was an amazingly simple yet tastes so close to the real thing treat. It was so good I made it twice in a week! I used Aptiva sugar substitute for the real sugar to save some calories and carbs, and it was still great. Ben Phipps needs to be congratulated, continue cooking, and become a Food Network chef when he is older.....Please let him know he did a great job.

Very easy, fun to make, and a big hit in my house! These are wonderfully sweet and crunchy, and my kids absolutely loved them! "Fried ice cream" is what I told them it is usually called. I only used 1/2 the cinnamon to keep it from overwhelming the dish. I made the ice cream balls a bit smaller than the recipe called for (about the size of one small scoop of ice cream), and served two balls per person. I skipped the pre-freezing time since I was going to serve them right away and they turned out crunchy and just fine. I would use more frosted corn flake crumbs and cut back on the amount of sugar next time. Nice job!
