Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1.75 quart container vanilla ice cream
  • 3 cups crushed corn flakes, (measure it AFTER they are crushed)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)
  • 8 ounce container whipped topping (COOL WHIP) (thawed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Take the ice cream out of your freezer and let it sit on counter for about 30 minutes (until softened.)
  • Crush and measure out corn flakes.
  • Add sugar and cinnamon to crushed corn flakes and stir or shake it up in a ziploc bag until thoroughly coated.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat.
  • Once melted add the corn flake mixture.
  • Stir constantly for about 4-5 minutes until lightly golden brown. Do not walk away and do not turn up the heat. You don't want the sugar to burn. Take off heat and allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine softened vanilla ice cream, whipped topping and vanilla extract. Use a large spoon and stir until thoroughly mixed.
  • Spread half of the cooled corn flake mixture into the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking dish. Just press down with your hand until it is evenly spread out.
  • Then pour ice cream mixture over corn flake mixture. Spread out evenly.
  • Finally, top with remaining corn flake mixture.
  • Cover and pop into freezer for at least 4 hours to let it all set up.
