Mexican Un-Fried Ice Cream, also known as “helado frito,” is a popular dessert in Mexican cuisine. Traditionally made by coating balls of ice cream in a sweet mixture of crushed cornflakes, cinnamon, and sugar, and then deep-frying them, this dessert is typically high in calories and fat. This recipe offers a low-fat and low-sugar alternative to traditional fried ice cream, using low-fat cinnamon graham crackers instead of cornflakes and baking them until crispy. The result is a delicious and light dessert that still has all the flavors of traditional fried ice cream.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.	Crunch the graham crackers into fine crumbs and put them in a mixing bowl.
3.	In a separate bowl, mix the Splenda and cinnamon powder until well combined.
4.	Coat each tortilla with butter-flavored cooking spray and sprinkle with the Splenda-cinnamon mixture.
5.	Cut each coated tortilla into 6 wedges and place them onto a baking sheet.
6.	Bake the tortillas for 7-8 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
7.	Remove from oven and let them cool.
8.	In a large mixing bowl, mix the softened vanilla ice cream and warm honey until well combined.
9.	Scoop the ice cream onto the cooled tortilla chips and serve immediately.
