Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream high-quality
  • 3 cups crushed corn flakes cereal to mimic fried texture
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp sugar to enhance sweetness
  • 1 can (12.4-oz) refrigerated original cinnamon rolls
  • Chocolate sauce for drizzling

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Ice cream scooper
  • Serving dishes or bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the cinnamon rolls. Open the can and unroll the dough. Lay the rolls flat on a baking sheet and bake them until golden brown, usually around 13-15 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly before cutting into smaller pieces.
  2. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, place the corn flakes in the food processor and pulse until a fine crumb-like consistency is achieved. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed corn flakes with the ground cinnamon and sugar.
  3. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into balls using your ice cream scooper. Aim for about 2-3 scoops per serving.
  4. Roll each scoop of ice cream in the corn flake mixture until fully coated.
  5. In serving dishes, place a base of cinnamon roll pieces, top with cornflake-coated ice cream scoops, and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Notes

  • Use low-fat or dairy-free ice cream for a lighter option.
  • Consider whole grain corn flakes for a healthier crunch.
  • Assemble the sundae just before serving to maintain texture.
