I don't know if this fits your needs but
it is easier to make even than the fried ice cream balls.
FRIED ICE CREAM CAKE
3 c. crushed cornflakes
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. melted butter (don't use margarine, it makes the crumbs soggy)
1 c. toasted coconut
1 c. finely chopped pecans-toasted
2 quarts vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
Combine all ingredients, except ice cream. Spread half of the crumb mixture in a 9x13 pan and press down firmly. Spread the softened ice cream over crumb mixture and smooth with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs and press down firmly. Cover and immediately freeze. Let freeze for at least two hours before serving. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before cutting.
