I have been making this since I was about 15 years old... Don't let the ingredient list or directions throw you off from trying this... it really is an easy and inexpensive recipe... though it looks and taste so grand!!! As I have told my JAP friends... I hate to brag...BUT.... this is the best fried ice cream I have ever had anywhere! Go ahead... try it.... you will not only like it... but will love it! I made 70 of these for my daughter's 13th birthday party. (You really can make them ahead and keep frozen!)
