Heat oil over medium heat to 350°F. Working in batches, fry tortilla strips, then tortilla quarters until golden and crisp, about 1 1/2 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Drain. Mix 5 tablespoons sugar and ground cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle mixture onto all sides of tortillas. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store tortillas airtight at room temperature.)

Return mixture to saucepan and stir over medium heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Strain into large bowl. Whisk in sour cream and tequila. Refrigerate until cold, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.

• When oil is hot, fry tortillas, one at a time, for about 30-40 seconds on each side. (Press down tortilla with a fork, if it starts to puff up while frying).
• Drain fried tortillas on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle each fried tortilla with the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm.

• Place one cherry on top of each scoop of ice cream.
• Serve immediately.
• ~NOTE~ The tortillas can be fried up ahead of time and stored in an air tight container.
• ~NOTE~ If you can't find cinnamon ice cream at your store, you can either make it homemade or use vanilla instead. My family likes BlueBell's "bunuelos" flavored ice cream for these sundaes.

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Using a scoop, place 4, ½-cup balls of ice cream onto the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour. Once hardened, shape ice cream with hands to round out bottoms.
• Whisk egg white until frothy in a medium bowl. Place Corn Flakes in a shallow dish. Dip ice cream in egg to coat completely and then coat in corn flakes. Return to prepared pan and freeze for 4 hours.
• Stir sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375⁰F. Add ice cream in batches of 2 and fry for 15 seconds, turning gently with a slotted spoon. Remove with slotted spoon.
• Remove and place in 4 bowls, adding a ¼ cup of whipped topping on each. Distribute pineapple and raspberries evenly among the bowls. Sprinkle each sundae with 1 tsp cinnamon sugar.
• Tip: To make this dish even more authentic, drizzle with chocolate sauce and dulce de leche.
