THE ORIGINAL CHI-CHI'S MEXICAN FRIED ICE CREAM
This is the original Chi-Chi's Mexican Fried Ice Cream. You can serve this on the fried flour tortilla sprinkled with a cinnamon sugar mix as it was done in the later years or in a sherbet glass as it was in the early 80's. At one point we even offered these in chocolate and strawberry as well. Prep time is for the ice cream ball to harden.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality vanilla ice cream. Look for a brand that is made with real cream and eggs, and has a smooth, rich flavor.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow fry the ice cream balls in a large skillet filled with about 2 inches of oil.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the fryer or skillet, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the ice cream balls to become soggy.
- Fry the ice cream balls for just a few seconds, or until they are golden brown and crispy. If you overcook them, the ice cream will melt and leak out.
- Serve the fried ice cream balls immediately, topped with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and sprinkles.
