Is fried ice cream a Mexican thing?

Yes, although its exact origin is disputed, the Mexican version with cinnamon and honey is iconic in the USA.

What is fried ice cream made of?

It’s made of frozen ice cream coated in crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs, fried quickly, and topped with sauces.

Quick frying at high heat seals the outer layer while the ice cream inside stays frozen.

The coating acts as insulation, and the frying time is so short that the center remains cold.
