Meet the Cook: For birthday parties or outdoor barbecues, this is a hit. At times, I substitute strawberry or Neapolitan for the vanilla ice cream...either works fine, too. My children used to love eating out at Mexican restaurants just so they could order fried ice cream for dessert. When I came upon this recipe, I copied it down quickly! -Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

I'm not a fan of caramel, so I omitted the caramel sauce from this recipe. The fried ice cream was still delicious.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans in the caramel sauce with chopped walnuts. It turned out just as delicious.

I tried making this fried ice cream, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The ice cream melted too quickly and the caramel sauce was too thick.
