Brain Gelatin Recipes

FRANKENSTEIN'S BRAIN

Steps:

• Add boiling water to gelatin mixes in medium bowl; stir 3 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Gradually whisk in cream cheese until well blended.
• Refrigerate 30 min. or until slightly thickened. Stir in pineapple and pretzels. Pour into Brain Mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
• Unmold gelatin onto plate just before serving.

BRAIN GELATIN

Steps:

• Before each use, wash the mold with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
• Spray or smear the inside of the mold with a small amount of vegetable oil, then wipe out the excess.
• Put the gelatin mix in a large bowl and add the boiling water.
• Stir about two minutes until the mix is dissolved.
• Stir in the cold water.
• Stir in the evaporated milk and food coloring.
• Adjust coloring until it is the perfect pinkish-gray and stir.
• Pour the mixture in the brain mold, stopping about 1/4 inch from the top.
• Place the brain mold in a shallow bowl so it will sit level, and refrigerate overnight.
• To remove the brain, shake the mold gently until the gelatin loosens.
• Place a flat plate upside down over the open side of the mold, then flip the mold and the plate together.
• Lift the mold off, leaving the brain on the plate.

PINK BRAIN SHOOTER

Steps:

• Lightly oil a brain-shaped gelatin mold.
• Stir the peach gelatin mix with boiling water in a bowl to dissolve the gelatin. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Mix in the evaporated milk and peach schnapps; pour into the prepared mold. Refrigerate until set, 4 to 6 hours.
• To decorate, dip the mold in very warm water (don't let the water enter the top of the mold) to loosen; invert the mold on a serving platter and lift to leave the brain in place. Mix blue and red food coloring in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons of water. Use a small clean paintbrush to paint the coloring into the grooves of the brain. Return the brain to the refrigerator until the food coloring sets. Serve cold.

KENNY'S BRAIN SPREAD

Steps:

• Heat soup, undiluted, and mix in the cream cheese.
• Stir in softened gelatin, and blend well.
• Fold in remaining ingredients, and pour into a lightly-oiled brain mold. (I pour some oil in and swirl it around, then pour out excess).
• Chill until firm, and serve with your favorite crackers, pita or bagel chips or scoops.

OOZING BRAIN

Steps:

• Add boiling water to peach gelatin mixes; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in evaporated milk and 3/4 cup cold water; pour into JELL-O Halloween Brain Mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 1 hour or until gelatin is set but not firm.
• Mix strawberry gelatin mix and cornstarch in small microwaveable bowl. Stir in remaining cold water. Microwave on HIGH 3 min.; stir. Drizzle 1/2 cup strawberry gelatin between peach gelatin and edge of mold, gently pulling peach gelatin from side of mold as needed. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Refrigerate remaining strawberry gelatin until ready to use.
• Unmold gelatin from brain mold onto plate just before serving. Microwave remaining strawberry gelatin 1 min. Spoon over the unmolded brain.

WORMY BRAIN
