Better Than Fried Ice Cream
1 pint (2 cups) fat free vanilla ice cream

Note: Do not substitute fat free frozen yogurt for the fat free ice cream.

1 package (3 ounces) ladyfingers

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

6 teaspoons honey

6 tablespoons frozen lite whipped topping, thawed

6 maraschino cherries with stems

At least 2 hours before serving, use a 1/4 cup-size ice cream scoop to shape 6 balls of ice cream; place in a single layer in a covered container and return to freezer for at least 1 hour.

Place 9 separated ladyfinger halves in ungreased cake pan or pie pan; sprinkle with the cinnamon. Bake at 350o for 6 to 8 minutes until well browned, turning ladyfingers over after 4 minutes, if necessary, to brown both sides. Cool, then crumble to make fine crumbs; return crumbs to pie pan and set aside. Wrap remaining ladyfingers appropriately and freeze for another use.

Roll ice cream balls in ladyfinger crumbs to coat completely. Return to freezer for at least 1 hour.

To serve, place one ice cream ball in each of six sherbet glasses or dessert dishes. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of honey, then top each with a tablespoon of whipped topping and a cherry.

Note:

  1. Honey topping can be replaced with fat free chocolate syrup, strawberry or pineapple ice cream topping.
  2.  
  3. To "chocolate frost" dessert glasses: Pour powdered hot chocolate mix into shallow dish. Lightly coat top outside rim of stemmed cocktail or dessert glasses using chocolate syrup. Dip this chocolate syrup coated rim into the powdered hot chocolate mix.
