1 pint vanilla (or any flavor) ice cream
 2 egg whites
 3 tablespoons (3 ounces) almond paste
 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
 3 cups vegetable oil or fat for frying
 4 peach halves, fresh or canned, well drained
 1 cup Vanilla Sauce
 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
 4 sprigs mint
 Scoop ice cream into 4 balls.  Freeze until very hard.
 Blend egg whites into almond paste until smooth.  Dip ice cream balls 
 into almond paste mixture, then coat heavily with graham cracker crumbs.  
 Freeze until very hard.  Store, wrapped, in freezer until serving time.  
 When ready to serve, heat oil in 1 1/2-quart saucepan to 360 degrees F.  
 Fry one ball at a time until golden brown, about 15 seconds.  Drain on 
 paper towels.
 Serve at once in a peach half in a champagne glass.  Top with vanilla 
 sauce, chopped walnuts and a sprig of mint.
 Vanilla Sauce 
 3 cups milk
 1/2 cup sugar
 1/8 teaspoon yellow food coloring, if desired
 3 tablespoons cornstarch
 4 tablespoons water
 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 Heat milk, sugar, and food coloring to boiling point.  Dissolve 
 cornstarch in water and stir into hot liquid.  Cook and stir until 
 mixture boils and is thickened.  Let cool and blend in vanilla.  Serve 
 over fruit, pudding or cake.
 My notes:
 1.  I would guess that ChiChi's recipe is similar except that they 
 probably add cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs (or use cinnamon 
 topped crackers crushed).
 2.  ChiChi's serves theirs with honey instead of vanilla sauce and 
 without the peach.
