Tex Mex Ice Cream Sundaes Recipes

MEXICAN ICE CREAM SUNDAES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry tortilla wedges, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Combine the sugar and cinnamon; set aside 1 tablespoon. Sprinkle both sides of tortillas with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs and reserved cinnamon-sugar. Roll ice cream in crumb mixture to coat. Freeze until serving.
• Drizzle serving plates with chocolate syrup if desired. Place six tortilla wedges on each plate; top each with a scoop of ice cream. Pipe whipped cream around base and on top of ice cream. Garnish each with a cherry.

TEX-MEX ICE CREAM SUNDAES

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet, pour oil to the depth of 1/2-inch.
• Heat oil over medium heat.
• When oil is hot, fry tortillas, one at a time, for about 30-40 seconds on each side. (Press down tortilla with a fork, if it starts to puff up while frying).
• Drain fried tortillas on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle each fried tortilla with the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm.
• Set fried tortillas aside to cool.
• When you are ready to serve, place a generous scoop of cinnamon ice cream on top of each tortilla.
• Drizzle each tortilla and ice cream with chocolate syrup.
• Place one cherry on top of each scoop of ice cream.
• Serve immediately.
• ~NOTE~ The tortillas can be fried up ahead of time and stored in an air tight container.
• ~NOTE~ If you can't find cinnamon ice cream at your store, you can either make it homemade or use vanilla instead. My family likes BlueBell's "bunuelos" flavored ice cream for these sundaes.
