I've been promising for a couple of days to make a version of 'fried ice cream', minus the frying because I really think all the other stuff is bad enough :o) and I couldn't put it off any longer. Here's my quickie version of a restaurant favorite.
LOADED Fried Ice Cream on a Sopapilla wannabe
Combine about 1/2 cup of crushed frosted flakes and cinnamon sugar(to taste).
Lightly fry a flour tortilla*preferably Trader Joe's...YES, it matters!* in preheated oil and sprinkle immediately with more cinnamon sugar. (It's like a tortilla trying to be like a sopapilla, minus leavening and all that gooey honey *slurp*...not to mention a lot less oil so I guess that makes it not a sopapilla at all??? LOL! now that I've got you totally confused...my total intention! Just kidding. Or am I? LOL!!!!)
Scoop a ball of your favorite ice cream and roll in the crushed flake mixture. place this ball on your tortilla and top with whipped cream, marashino cherries, chocolate syrup, nuts or whatever you like. Wait for the sounds of silence whilst the goods are being devoured!
Enjoy :o) (the silence and the treat!)
