They are fast, 30 minutes or less, and loads of fun (your kids will have a blast eating them & so will you)! They are Sopapillas ( Mexican honey puffs), Churros ( Mexican Donuts) and Fried Ice cream.

Chocolate dipping sauce
3-ounces dark chocolate
2-ounce milk chocolate
1-Tbs. corn syrup
1/2 cup cream

While this dessert is quick to make, it requires a few hours to freeze in preparation to be fried so it is best made up the night before and put in the freezer overnight.

11/2- cups crushed graham crackers
11/4- Tsp. cinnamon
2-Qts.vegetable oil

Scoop out 6 scoop of Ice cream ( as round as possible) and place on a plate covered with wax paper and place in the freezer until frozen. In a casserole dish with 1/3 cup of whipping cream roll each scoop of ice cream and then roll each scoop of ice cream in the graham crackers and cinnamon that has been mixed together in a blender or mixed together by hand and then placed on a plate. Retain the graham cracker crumb mixture and place the cream in the refrigerator and refreeze the ice cream scoops for at least an hour. Then, re-coat each scoop with cream & graham cracker crumb mixture and refreeze for at least 30 minutes but a few hours or overnight is recommended. Fry in vegetable oil for only 10-20 seconds turning and remove quickly after browned. Drain on paper towels and serve quickly.
