16 oz chocolate chip ice cream
 2 cups Team Flakes Cereal, crushed
 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
 3 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
 2 eggs
 1 teaspoon water
 4 8-inch flour tortillas
 Oil for frying
 Cinnamon-sugar
 Whipped cream
 4 maraschino cherries
 Form ice cream into four balls.  Place in baking pan and freeze solid,
 two hours or longer.  Mix cereal, sugar and cinnamon.  Divide equally
 between two pie plates or other shallow containers.  Beat eggs with
 water.  Roll each ice cream ball in cereal mix and press coating onto
 ice cream.  Dip coated ball in egg wash, then roll in second container
 of cereal mixture.  Again, press coating into ice cream.  Freeze
 coated ice cream balls solid, four to six hours.
 Cut tortillas into decorative fan shape and deep fry each between two
 ladles, one larger and one smaller, so each tortilla is forced into a
 basket shape.  Fry until crisp, drain and sprinkle with
 cinnamon-sugar.
 Deep fry frozen coated ice cream balls for 10 seconds or until lightly
 browned on outside but still solid in middle.  Serve immediately with
 tortilla fan in stemmed glass.  Top with whipped cream and cherry.
 Makes 4 servings.
