Sharing the best Fried Ice Cream recipe! …a family favorite!
When I was growing up, my mom and a few of my older sisters worked at A&W. I remember they would bring home fried ice cream after their shift, and it was my fave! Now when I order fried ice cream at a restaurant, I’m critiquing it. Cecilia found this fried ice cream recipe online via The Imperfect Housewife and has been bringing it to family gatherings. It is a HUGE hit! She usually has to make 2 pans because everyone loves it. It’s not actually fried ice cream, but dang it tastes like it! For Bashy’s birthday party, the fried ice cream was his birthday cake.
