Fried Ice Cream

Ice Cream
1 cube melted margarine
1 cup coconut
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups Rice Crispies cereal (or honey bunches of oats)
¾ cup nuts

Press ½ mixture in bottom of 9x13 pan. Cover with ½ gallon softened vanilla ice cream (I dump the whole carton in my mixer and beat it until it is spreadable). Top with other half of mixture. Freeze.


Topping
1 cup sugar
3 T cornstarch
¼ cup jello (flavor of berries)
1 cup cold water

Mix and bring to a boil. Boil and stir until the mixture becomes thick and clear (about 10 minutes). Cool then add 1 ½ to two cups of berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries).

*This is a good recipe for crowds because it can be made ahead in large quantities and served with several different toppings including fruit and caramel.
