Faux Fried Ice Cream Recipe

It was my birthday and all I wanted was (naturally) a Mexican Fiesta.   As my mom and I were planning the menu, I suddenly got a brillant idea – fried ice cream.   Of course, we weren’t planning ahead.   We were planning dinner for that night at 3 PM.   But, fried ice cream has to be quick and easy, right?   WRONG!

Fried ice cream takes hours.   You have to freeze it, fry it, freeze it some more.   It spends like a total of 4-6 hours in the freezer, so that option was out. Craving fried ice cream now, we came up with a solution – faux fried ice cream. It’s not fried, but in my opinion, it was better than the real stuff!   Probably healthier too.
