Halloween Food - Brain Dessert

This is a Halloween special dessert. It looks like human brain and can be a centre piece of a halloween food party. I have used jello, evaporated milk and some red food color and put the mixture in a brain shaped mould.

Supplies

1 pack of Jello, Evaporated milk, red jell food color, water, brain shaped mould, whisk

Making the Jell-O Mixture

Prepare the Jell-O mixture following the packet instructions. I have put the powder jello in a bowl and added 285ml of hot water. Stirred it and then put another 285ml of cold water. Mix it well using a whisk. Then add 1 whole can of evaporated milk by batch. And the dessert mixture is done.

Pour the Mixture Into Mould

Add the mixture into a mould. Because we are making it for halloween, I have chosen a mould that has brain shape to make it look bit scary. I have bought mine from Wilko but they are available at Amazon and craft shops as well. Use another bowl to hold your mould as the mould itself could be wobbly. Pour the whole mixture in.

Add Some Details for Realistic Look

Now it's time to play with the dessert. I added some gel food coloring to it for a more realistic look. I just dropped some color in the mixture which soon settles in the bottom and stays there. Because it's gel food coloring, it does not dissolve to the mixture and helps giving the brain some effect of blood in the veins. Next I dropped some more of the color but this time I have used a whisk to gently whisk the it on the top so that the color gets little bit mixed and then goes to the bottom. This step is very important if you want your halloween dessert to look attractive.

Freeze the Dessert

Now let the dessert sit in the freezer for 5-6 hours to set.

Final Touches

Take the mould out of freezer and take it out from the mould to a serving dish. Next is using your creative mind. I have sprayed some red jell food color to the side of the dish and also some on the dessert itself. I have also applied some red color to the knife i set by the brain dessert. Thanks everyone. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. I have a video of the whole tutorial on my YouTube channel and here's the link to understand the steps.
