7 Reviews of Chi-Chi's Mexican Fried Ice Cream

I worked at Chi Chi's and we actually didn't do it this way. We froze the balls of icecream with the coating around them until they were rock hard and then dropped them into the fryer for about 5 seconds. That way the outside was crisp and the inside slightly melted, but the very center still hard and cold. Just thought I'd let you know how it was done!

This brought back some childhood memories when I made it! A real treat!

I have the cookbook that this is from...Top Secret Restaurant Recipes... and I have made and enjoyed it several times. BUT, you forgot to add that you can serve it with honey, or chocolate syrup or strawberry topping. I always serve mine with warm honey and it really makes a difference in the outcome of the recipe.

Tastes just like I remember at Chi-Chi's. Probably isn't Mexican, but who cares! It tastes great.

It sounds interesting but i think is not a real mexican recipe... perhaps from mexicans living in usa but in mexico we don' t know it and maraschino cherries are a fancy imported product, not a local one. I will try it anyway
