The colder the ice cream, the less likely it is to melt during frying. Work quickly!
2
In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, sugar, and ground cinnamon (if using). In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, place the flour.

Ensure cornflakes are finely crushed for an even coating.

Working quickly, take a frozen ice cream ball, roll it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off. Finally, roll it generously in the cornflake mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a thick, even coating. Repeat for all balls. Place back on the tray and freeze for another 30-60 minutes.

Double coating (flour-egg-cornflakes, then repeat) can provide extra protection against melting.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place 1-2 coated ice cream balls into the hot oil. Fry for only 15-20 seconds, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.

Use a slotted spoon to carefully lower and remove the ice cream balls. The oil must be very hot to cook the coating quickly without melting the ice cream.

Carefully remove the fried ice cream balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like chocolate sauce, caramel, or whipped cream.
