Equipment
Method
- In a mixing bowl, pour the fruit juice and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom and soften.
- Meanwhile, heat water in a saucepan until just boiling, then pour it over the bloomed gelatin mixture. Whisk vigorously until all the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and transparent.
- Add the fruit juice or flavored syrup to the dissolved gelatin mixture for extra flavor and color. If desired, add a few drops of red or pink food coloring, then whisk until evenly blended.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into your brain-shaped mold, filling it carefully to avoid air bubbles and to define the intricate brain ridges.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set and has a firm, yet squishy, consistency.
- Once set, gently unmold the gelatin by inverting the mold onto a serving plate, and carefully peel away the silicone mold to reveal your spooky, brain-like creation.
- For an extra gory effect, add dollops of whipped cream, food-colored gels, or edible blood-like syrup around and on top of the brain.
- Slice into portions to showcase the brain-like internal texture, and serve immediately for a fun, spooky treat perfect for Halloween parties.
