Mexican friend ice cream is probably one of those decadent dessert ideas that you never thought you could make at home. Think again! Our mock friend ice cream recipe shows you exactly how to achieve the fried ice cream taste without any of the messy and unhealthy deep frying. You're going to love it. We promise.

From the Chef: I remember eating fried ice cream at a Mexican restaurant in Connecticut. It was always a fun way to end dinners out with girlfriends. I love recipes that deliver on a favorite food without the intricacy or challenge that the original version calls for. This no-fry ice cream tastes just like it was deep-fried but without hot oil and temperamental timing.

This is a great knock off for fried ice cream...although nothing is ever as good as the original. Personally speaking, I would substitute the graham crackers with Capt n' Crunch cereal, add a little brown sugar instead of maple syrup and don't forget the cinnamon. (it's how I do it when I fry them, but I think it would work out great not fried as well.) I'm not a big chocolate eater so...as a topping, whipped cream with some chopped pecans sounds yummy to me!
