I love playing games in zapak.com esp, cooking games. Last week i came across a game that was in top rated games.In instructions column i have observed that it was based on a real recipe and can be made under adult supervision.I was reluctant that fried ice cream may not be a good choice or tasty.Then slowly i sneaked into our kitchen and stole a scoop of ice cream.But i was caught by my mom as my pup Juju started barking at me.I explained her and after a couple of scoldings i received i was determined to prepare this dish.Finally the result was tasty and i had to prepare it the following day also for my family.Consume immediately otherwise you can see a river in your bowl and all the roasted pieces floating.A good recipe to to surprise everybody and also confuse them!!
