Deep frying Jello can be a fun and unique culinary adventure! Here’s a basic method to try it out:
Ingredients
Jello (any flavor, prepared and fully set)
Flour
Eggs
Bread crumbs or crushed cereal
Oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Jello:
Make your Jello according to the package instructions and let it set in the refrigerator until firm.
Cut the Jello:
Once set, cut the Jello into cubes or shapes of your choice.
Coating Setup:
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs or crushed cereal.
Coat the Jello:
Take a piece of Jello, coat it lightly in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and then coat it in the bread crumbs or crushed cereal. Make sure it’s evenly coated.
Heat the Oil:
In a deep pot or fryer, heat oil to about 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the Jello pieces.
Fry the Jello:
Carefully place a few breaded Jello pieces into the hot oil. Fry them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until golden brown. Be cautious, as the Jello may start to ooze out if it’s too hot or cooked too long.
Drain Excess Oil:
Remove the fried Jello using a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.
Serve:
Enjoy your deep-fried Jello while warm! You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar or serve with a dip like chocolate sauce.
Tips
Experiment with different flavors of Jello and coatings for variations.
Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil to prevent overcooking.
Remember that the texture will be different from traditional fried foods.
