Attachment 846Fried Ice Cream sounds like an impossible feat, but imagine creamy smooth vanilla ice cream enveloped in a hot, crispy shell drizzled with honey or chocolate sauce and a dollop of whipped cream ... and then stop imagining.. because it's right here and it's pretty darn easy to make at home!

So we really recommend doubling or tripling
