Рецепт "Fried" Ice Cream Pie #IceCreamWeek
Welcome to Ice Cream Week 2014! This year the event is hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Susan of The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. We have teamed up with 25 amazing bloggers to bring you ice cream treats all week long. I hope you have as much fun as we did. Break out those stretchy pants and celebrate Ice Cream Week with us.
Here on RKA, we are starting off #IceCreamWeek with a fantastic recipe for "Fried" Ice Cream Pie!! Did you know today is National Ice Cream Pie Day? How lucky for me (and YOU!), This easy recipe is one of my very favorite things to order at my local Mexican restaurant!
The ice cream is not actually fried in oil...but you know, that "fried" sweet, crispy crunchy topping they put on a big ball of vanilla ice cream and then drizzle with honey or chocolate syrup (or both!), and top with whipped cream, and a cherry? If you have never had the pleasure of indulging in this amazing treat...you must try this recipe!! If you are familiar with the kind of "fried" ice cream I am talking about...then YOU MUST TRY THIS RECIPE! :)
Because this pie uses store bought ice cream and non-dairy whipped topping...it's actually pretty easy to make more diet friendly. By choosing reduced fat or non fat products, you can help control the calories in this pie. You can also top this pie however you like or not at all. The choice is yours!
My family LOVED this dessert...and so did I! It's so easy to make as well. The hardest part is waiting for it to freeze.
So what are you waiting for? Go out and get the ingredients you need to make this today...and make your mouth and tummy happy! Don't forget to scroll down and enter to win the amazing giveaway too!
