Graham Cracker Fried Ice Cream

I've eaten fried ice cream lots of times, but have never attempted making it at home.   I found this recipe on Taste of Home, and thought it would be fun to make with my son.    While it's not a difficult recipe, it does require a lot of chilling time.  We made ours on a warm day, and had to hustle to keep it from melting while coating.  There is a very short window between crispy and delicious and a giant mess when frying, so take the time suggested very literally.    My son requested a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on them after frying, and I set out toppings of honey or hot fudge.   So good! Thank you Kay H for sharing your recipe  :)

Brown food and ice cream are two of my photography nightmares.   This is real life, real food, and as I said, a warm day.   Quick snaps before melting was all I was able to achieve.

                      Graham Cracker Fried Ice Cream

  3               cups  vanilla ice cream
     1/4           cup  heavy whipping cream
  1 1/4           cups  finely crushed graham crackers
  1           teaspoon  ground cinnamon
                        Oil -- for deep-frying

Using a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop, place six scoops of ice cream on a baking sheet. Freeze. Place heavy cream in a shallow bowl. Combine cracker crumbs and cinnamon in another shallow bowl. Dip ice cream balls in cream, then roll in crumb mixture. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate remaining cream and set aside remaining crumb mixture. Roll ice cream balls again in cream, then coat again with crumbs. Freezer for 15 minutes. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375'. Fry ice cream balls for 10-15 seconds or until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

    I like that this recipe calls for graham cracker crumbs instead of crushed corn flakes. I know it was labor intensive...good for you for persevering.

      I wasn't going to let it beat me! The yeast biscuits that are refusing to rise today may be another story :)

      When we get it out, I almost always take home half my meal to make sure that I leave room for dessert!

    You're brave for trying it at home! This is one of the few desserts that scare me to make at home, lol.

    I am so excited that you did it! I basically never fry, so the idea scares me. But the results look delicious so it is certainly tempting. YUUUUMMM!

    Such a fun dessert. I'd be so afraid the ice cream would melt.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Double Layer Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Back in the day I used to bake from home for extra money.  This was one of the most popular items.  Cake mix sizes have changed and if you're using the 15.75 ounce ones bake them in 8" pans. If you want to use the 9" rounds, you can also use this cake mix upsizer to make up the difference between the old and new cake mix sizes.  If the layers are too thin, you'll never be able to flip and stack them without a mess. Be sure to keep track of which pan has the pineapple rings and cherries in it and which doesn't so that you can easily turn them out onto the plate in the right order.    Double Layer Pineapple Upside Down Cake Print With Image Without Image Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal Ingredients 10 ounce jar maraschino cherries, drained 1/2 stick butter 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 8 ounce can pineapple slices 8 ounce can crushed pineapple with juice 1 package yellow cake mix (15.75 ounces) Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
