Additional Tips for a Perfect Halloween Brain Jello Mold
1. Adding Realistic Details: If you really want to take it up a notch, you can use a fork to gently etch veins into the surface of the Jello once it's set. You can also add gummy worms or candies around the base to enhance the spooky effect.
2. Serving Ideas: Serve your Halloween Brain Jello Mold on a platter with a bed of green Jello to mimic grass or swampy areas. You can also drizzle raspberry or strawberry sauce over the top for added “blood” effect, making it even gorier and more exciting.
Halloween Brain Jello Mold Recipe
Equipment
- Brain-shaped mold
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups
- Stirring spoon
- Non-stick spray
Ingredients
- 6 ounces of strawberry Jello mix or any red flavor
- 3 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 can 12 ounces evaporated milk
- Food coloring red and blue for added effect
- Non-stick spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Mold
- Coat the inside of the brain mold with a thin layer of non-stick spray. Make sure to get all the crevices. This will make it easy to remove the jello later.
- Mix the Jello
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the Jello mix and add 3 cups of boiling water. Stir until the Jello is completely dissolved.
- Add Cold Water
- Pour in 1 cup of cold water to the Jello mixture. Stir until well mixed.
- Incorporate Evaporated Milk
- Slowly add the evaporated milk to the Jello mixture while stirring. This will give the Jello a milky, brain-like texture.
- The Special Effect
- Add a few drops of red and blue food coloring to create veins and give the brain a more realistic appearance. Mix gently.
- Pour into Mold
- Carefully pour the Jello mixture into the prepared brain mold. Make sure it settles evenly.
- Chill
- Place the mold in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is firmly set.
- Unmold the Brain
- To do this, gently separate the edges of the Jello from the mold. Flip it onto a serving plate and give it a light shake to release the Jello brain.
