It’s summertime, and you know what that means… Food Truck Friday! Actually, Food Truck Friday in Phoenix is year-round, but since it’s during lunch time, we can usually only go in the summers.

Twice I’ve had fried ice cream, from two different trucks, and both times it was amazing. And the best news of all, you can make easy fried ice cream at home!
