No-Fry Fried Ice Cream

I am a huge fan of fried ice cream, but I also love being able to cheat and make “non-fried” versions that taste just as good. I love how this recipe can make enough for a crowd and you don’t have to fry individual balls of ice cream. It takes very little prep and clean up is a breeze (no messing with frying oil). It’s an overall win-win!

Cinnamon Churro Fried Ice Cream

If you love churros as much as we do, you need to try this Cinnamon Churro Fried Ice Cream variation. The thing that puts this dessert over the top is the churro ice cream.
