frothy. Quickly roll coated ice cream balls in egg and then back into
crumbs.. Return to freezer for 1-3 more hours.
Heat oil to 375F. Be precise with oil temperature, so ice cream will fry

side. Place in serving dish, top with chocolate or strawberry if desired, and

sit with the alcohol on them for 15 minutes. When ice cream is ready to be
served, press a sugar cube into the top of the ice cream and ignite.

NOTES : Use a dropper to saturate cubes with orange extract or brandy. Place
just enough drops to wet the sugar cube without causing it to fall apart.
