This was a dessert I used to order at my favorite Mexican restaurant. I couldn't believe you could fry ice cream, but this recipe is delicious proof. Top it with honey, caramel ice cream topping or whipped cream.—Kay Higgins, Madawaska, Maine

A disappointment. First off, the amounts listed in the recipe were off. I needed to make 50% more of both the heavy cream and graham cracker mixture to have enough to cover all 6 scoops of ice cream(1/2 cup scoops as stated). Next, half of the batter fell off in the fryer, leaving a partly bald dessert. Finally, the taste wasn't that great. Pretty much just tasted like pouring crushed graham crackers over a scoop of ice cream, thus rendering all my hard work pointless. I will try the pie-crust version next time and see if that's any better.

Try Cinnamon Toast Crunch-type cereal finely crushed, either roll ice cream in it or sprinkle over. Even better than cinnamon grahams.
