Mexican Fried Ice Cream Dessert

April 22, 2020 by My Farmhouse Table

Mexican Fried Ice Cream Dessert

Cinco de Mayo celebrations have always been a highlight for my friends and family. Baskets of chips with salsa, tacos, and margaritas. Who wouldn’t love this festive celebration? For years I struggled coming up with the perfect sweet treat for our party. That is, until this recipe for Mexican Fried Ice Cream Dessert came along.

When my best friend and I go to our favorite Mexican restaurant, we gorge ourselves with their chips and salsa, but never save enough room for dessert.

Unless dessert is a second helping of the above mentioned chips and salsa.

Mexican restaurants usually aren’t known for their sweet treats, except for fried ice cream.

Fried ice cream is a scoop of vanilla ice cream, coated in crushed cornflakes, fried, dusted in cinnamon sugar, and drizzled in honey or chocolate.

Since no one wants to be frying ice cream as their guests are finishing up your spicy fiesta eats and tipping back the tequila, this dessert is the perfect choice.

Sugar toasted cornflakes are spread across the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan, topped with cinnamon flavored ice cream, and then sprinkled again with the sugary cornflakes.

It has all the same ingredients as a classic fried ice cream, but without the mess and hassle.

That’s my idea of a great dessert!
