Create a Gruesome Jelly Brain

Prepare to shock and amaze your guests with a spine-chilling Jelly Brain for Halloween. In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to craft this eerie delight, complete with a gruesome edible fake blood glaze. Let's dive into the chilling details!

Ingredients for the Jelly Brain:

  • 170g peach jelly (produces the best "fleshy" brain colour)
  • 1 ¾ cups boiling water
  • 1 ¾ cups cold water
  • 1 (340ml) can evaporated milk
  • Cooking spray (for easy release)
  • Brain mould

Instructions for the Jelly Brain:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the peach jelly with 1 ¾ cups of boiling water. Stir the mixture for about 2 minutes until the jelly is completely dissolved.
  2. Next, pour in the 1 ¾ cups of cold water and stir well to combine.
  3. Add the entire 340ml can of evaporated milk to the mixture. Use a whisk to stir, ensuring the milk blends in for that realistic, fleshy look.
  4. To ensure the Jelly Brain releases smoothly from the mould, spray the plastic brain mould with cooking spray.
  5. Carefully pour the jelly mixture into the prepared brain mould, then place in the refrigerator to set overnight.
  6. When you're ready to serve your Jelly Brain, gently turn the mould upside down over a plate or cutting board and release the eerie brain onto it.

          Ingredients for Edible Fake Blood:

          Instructions for Edible Fake Blood:

          1. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 1 tablespoon of cherry juice. Combine this mixture with the remaining cherry juice and glucose syrup in a small pan.
          2. Heat the mixture gently over low heat, whisking thoroughly to combine all the ingredients. Once well mixed, remove it from the heat.
          3. Squeeze in a generous amount of red food colouring gel, until you achieve your desired blood-red color.
          4. This edible fake blood will have a thick, slow-running gel-like consistency. If you want a thinner gel, simply stir in a little more cherry juice or water.
          5. Spoon the fake blood glaze over the Jelly Brain, allowing it to drip down the sides and all around, creating a gruesomely realistic effect.

                You've successfully brought a creepy and delicious Jelly Brain to life, complete with a horrifying edible fake blood glaze. Your Halloween gathering is sure to be a hit with this gruesome centerpiece. Enjoy the spine-tingling delight!
