"Fried" Ice Cream Coating

  2. Dip the rim of a standard pint glass in water, then in cinnamon sugar to create a cinnamon sugar-rimmed glass. (Rimmed glasses can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.)
  3. Scoop three coated #12 ice cream scoops into prepared glass. Top with horchata and soda.
  4. Top float with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Place churro across glass, garnish with additional ground cinnamon if desired.

"Fried" Ice Cream Coating

  1. Place corn flakes in a food processor and process until coarsely crushed. Add melted butter, sugar and cinnamon; pulse until butter is evenly distributed.
  2. Coating will hold, refrigerated, for up to three days.
