Cinco De Mayo!

We celebrated Cinco De Mayo at my parents house on Sunday! My Dad had been prepping for days for this special dinner and he even went to a special Mexican food store to get some ingredients. I LOVE me some Mexican food!!! And everything that my parents cooked for Cinco De Mayo was OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD!!! I was still in charge of dessert, so I turned to my dear friend Pinterest for some 'mexican dessert' inspiration! I ended up making two Mexican desserts, because I couldn't decide which one people might like more! This is what I came up with...

Mexican 'Un' Fried Ice Cream

What you need:

French Vanilla Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt

2 cups corn flakes cereal

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Chocolate syrup

Whip Cream 

Scoop the ice cream into a ball (about 1/2 cup each) onto a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.

Freeze overnight or until the ice cream is very hard.

In a plastic Ziploc bag, combine the corn flakes and cinnamon. 

Crush using a rolling pin.

Roll the ice cream ball in the cereal mixture until completely covered.

Place back on the cookie sheet, and into the freezer for 2 hours.

Serve with chocolate syrup and whip cream on top!

ENJOY!

And the final product...

These were SUPER yummy and a hit with everyone!!! I also made 'Tres Leches Cake' which is a Mexican 3 milk cake. It was also delish!!!

This is what the rest of our CINCO DE MAYO Celebration looked liked...
