Yes it is really fried!!! Weird concept, eh?!!
Fried ice cream is an Americanized Mexican/Asian dessert.
Fried ice cream is commonly found at Mexican food chain restaurants in the United States (e.g. El Torito or Chi-Chi's) and fairs and carnivals. It is commonly made by taking a scoop of deep-frozen ice cream (frozen well below the temperature at which ice cream is generally kept), possibly rolling it in egg, then rolling in cornflakes or cookie crumbs, and then briefly deep frying -- the extremely low temperature of the ice cream prevents it from melting while being fried. Finally, it might be sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and a touch of peppermint, though whipped cream may be used as well.
I haven't heard of fried ice cream, but I suppose that if you put a scoop of ice cream into a batter mix and then dropped it in a deep fat frier for a few seconds to cook the batter, then it would probably work.
It wouldn't be the healthiest meal you've ever eaten, I'd go as far as to say it would be full of bad fats and cholesterol - and probably would carry a health warning :O)
Now apple fritters are fantastic - same with banana ones. Not sure if they're much healthier, but they sure are tasty.

What shashe said. I'll only add that at the local Chinese restaurant they pour alcohol on it and light it on fire just before they serve it.
