New Foods: Fried Jell-O®
Big Tex Choice Awards winner: Best Tasting! A classic cherry-flavored Jell-O in a panko-crusted breading, flash-fired to perfection, and then dusted with powdered sugar. Prepared with a tasty topping of whipped cream and a cherry garnish, this dish has the perfect amount of crunch to compliment the jiggle. Try out this Big Tex Choice winner at Ms. Ruth’s!
