Fried Ice Cream Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Ice Cream

    Take a tortilla and place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center. Sprinkle shredded coconut and a little cinnamon sugar on top of the ice cream.

  3. 3

    Wrap the Tortilla

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the ice cream to enclose it completely. Press gently to seal.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tortillas

    Carefully place the wrapped tortillas in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce, sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar, and top with whipped cream before serving.
