The technology behind fried ice cream is easier than it sounds: the milky ingredients are 'fried' on a special stove, which molds the chosen flavor and toppings into a single mass. Then, the ice cream is scooped in stripes and served ready to eat. The flavors here are mostly fruits like mango, apricot, peach, and bananas. As for the toppings, M&M's are by far the most popular choice in Frice. The ice cream stalls often pop up on the famous food festivals like Ulichnaya Eda, as well as entertainment fests in Expocenter of Ukraine.
