Fried Ice Cream Bars

All of the fried ice cream flavor without the mess and a great make ahead too! Perfect for Cinco de Mayo, potlucks and BBQs too!

    I actually first posted this recipe a couple of years ago when the blog was in its infancy. I had maybe three readers at the time and they were probably all my mom, just in different devices!  So now that at least four or five of you are kind enough to stop by on a regular basis, I thought I should share it again so none of you miss out on the deliciousness!

    MiMi made it that first time.  One of my sisters had suggested a girls night at MiMi's so all three of us sisters, MiMi and Grandma got together for a midweek fiesta.

    We had taquitos, guacamole and margaritas followed by these delicious fried ice cream bars.  They are the stuff of dreams.

    Since then every time somebody mentions fried ice cream, I tell them about these.  I know at least a few of them have tried the recipe and loved it as well.

    So with Mexican Recipe week coming up, I knew this recipe needed to see the light of day again.  I offered to bring dessert to a family dinner and got the ingredients together.

    Little dude mixed together the filling while I caramelized the corn flakes.  In a matter of a few minutes, it was headed to the freezer.

     I LOOOOOVE how easy this is.  You get the crunch and flavor of fried ice cream with none of the mess of frying.

    Plus you have the added bonus of being able to make them well in advance and serve when you are ready.  Try doing that with the real deal!

    Anyway, my family went crazy for this.  The pan was nearly decimated by the time I came home.

    Luckily there was still a slice or two left so I could try to update the pictures.  This is definitely one you have to try!

Do you celebrate Cinco de Mayo and if so how?
