Mexican Fried Ice Cream Recipe

Mexican Fried Ice Cream Recipe.... a nice Mexican dessert recipe to try !

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Corn Flakes, crushed
• 20 oz chocolate chip ice cream
• 3½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1½ tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon water
• 2 eggs
• 4 flour tortillas
• Oil for deep-frying
• Cinnamon mixed with sugar for garnish
• Whipped cream for garnish
• 4 maraschino cherries for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Divide the ice cream into 4 balls. Freeze them solid, which will take around 2 hours. Combine the Corn Flakes, sugar, and cinnamon and divide between 2 pie plates. Beat the eggs with the water. Roll each ice cream ball in the Corn Flakes mixture then dip the coated ball in the egg wash. Roll the ball in the other Corn Flake mixture, pressing the coating on firmly. Freeze these balls for 5 or 6 hours. Shape the tortillas like hourglasses by cutting off curved slices from two opposite sides, so that the ice cream can rest on one end and the other end can be a decorative fan.

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or wok. Place the tortilla between two large spoons, with the smaller one on top. The base of the tortilla should be in the bigger spoon to form a basket. Rest the other part of the tortilla on the spoon handle. Deep-fry it until crisp. Drain and then sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar.
Deep-fry the ice cream balls for 30 to 45 seconds. Place each tortilla in a large-stemmed glass, with the fan part vertically above the glass. Place the ice cream ball in the base of the tortilla. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. The Mexican dessert recipe is ready to serve...nice !

Crema De Cajeta Recipe

Crema De Cajeta ...a great Mexican dessert recipe...try it ! Nice one !

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups sugar
• 2 quarts goat's milk
• ½ teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
• 1 large Mexican vanilla bean, split open, or 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large, non-iron pot, mix together the vanilla, sugar and milk. Place it over a medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the milk begins to simmer. Remove from the heat and add the dissolved baking soda. It will bubble up. When it has finished bubbling, return the pot to the heat. Turn the heat down so the mixture is simmering quickly but not boiling. Stir regularly until the mixture turns golden. This takes about an hour.
As the milk starts to thicken, stir it more frequently. Make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Drop a teaspoon of the mixture into some water. The cajeta is ready if a ball forms. Take
the pot off the heat and allow the crema de cajeta to cool. It should be of a medium thickness.

If it is too thick, add some hot water. If it is not thick enough, let it simmer some more. Allow the cajeta to cool and take out the vanilla bean. Strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Scrape the vanilla bean seeds into the cajeta and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. Cajeta should be served warm. The Mexican dessert recipe is ready to serve...bon apetit !
