Equipment
Method
- Pour the fruit-flavored gelatin powder into a mixing bowl.
- Gradually pour the boiling water into the gelatin, whisking constantly until the powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the cold water to the mixture and stir briefly to combine, helping to cool the gelatin slightly.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into a brain-shaped or silicone mold, filling it up to the top.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm and set.
- Once set, gently loosen the edges of the gelatin by pressing lightly around the mold with your fingers or a small spatula.
- Carefully invert the mold onto a serving plate, giving it a gentle tap or a slight shake to release the gelatin brain.
- Adjust the shape as needed, smoothing out any imperfections or ridges with a damp spatula for a more realistic brain appearance.
- Decorate the surface with additional gel patches or edible embellishments if desired to enhance the creepy, brain-like look.
- Chill the completed brain again if needed before serving to ensure it holds its shape and texture.
- Slice and serve your spooky green brain to friends and family for a fun, creepy Halloween treat.
Notes
For extra realism, add small edible eyes or textured details before the gelatin fully sets.
