Since today is Friday, it is only fitting to share two of my favorite fried desserts to make, Fried ice cream and Malasada mini bites. I learned how to make these delicious fried concoctions in my culinary classes a while back and I am excited to pass them on to you. I think that you will love them as much as I do because they are easy to make and many of the ingredients used can be found in your home, which means …saving money and possibly a trip to the store!
Being from Hawaii, one of my favorite local treats are malasadas. If you don’t know what 
malasadas are, they are Portuguese donuts. It is simply made by frying dough and coating it with sugar.
Typically, malasadas aren’t bite sized but they are easier to share with the family by making them as mini bites.

- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sugar
- Optional Topping: cinnamon
- Optional Fillings: chocolate, custard, etc.
PREP:
- Heat oil in pan or deep fryer.
- Pour sugar in a baking pan or bowl (I mixed sugar and cinnamon to coat the malasadas) and set aside.
