The Original Chi-Chi's Mexican Fried Ice Cream image

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.

This was so delicious! I made it for my family and they loved it. The ice cream was crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. The cinnamon and sugar coating was the perfect touch. I will definitely be making this again.
