Steps:
- Using a medium-sized scoop, form ice cream into balls. Place on Gefen Easy Baking Parchment-lined baking sheet and place in freezer. Allow to freeze for at least an hour, and up to a day in advance.
- Meanwhile, prepare crumbs: Place cornflakes and Rice Krispies in the food processor with the knife attachment and pulse to form fine crumbs, leaving a few small pieces.
- Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan. Stir in crushed cereal. Add pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg, if using. Heat together for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from heat.
- Add sugar and mix together well. Pour out onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool.

THE ORIGINAL CHI-CHI'S MEXICAN FRIED ICE CREAM
This is the original Chi-Chi's Mexican Fried Ice Cream. You can serve this on the fried flour tortilla sprinkled with a cinnamon sugar mix as it was done in the later years or in a sherbet glass as it was in the early 80's. At one point we even offered these in chocolate and strawberry as well. Prep time is for the ice cream ball to harden.
