A spooky and fun brain-shaped jello mold perfect for Halloween parties, combining simple ingredients with a realistic look and delicious fruity flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3 oz or 85 g) strawberry-flavored gelatin mix
  • 2 tablespoons (14 g) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water (or raspberry/cherry juice as substitute)
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • A few drops red food coloring (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) light corn syrup
  • Optional: raspberry or cherry juice to replace cold water
  • Optional: mint leaves or edible flowers for decoration

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water into a large bowl. Add the strawberry gelatin mix and unflavored gelatin powder. Stir gently but thoroughly until completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1 cup (240 ml) cold water or substitute with raspberry juice. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) light corn syrup and a few drops of red food coloring to intensify the color. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Lightly rinse the brain mold with cold water (do not dry) to help unmold later. Drain excess water.
  4. Scatter chopped strawberries evenly inside the mold, focusing on the deeper grooves to mimic veins.
  5. Slowly pour the gelatin mixture into the mold, filling it without disturbing the strawberries too much.
  6. Place the mold in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  7. To unmold, briefly dip the mold’s bottom in warm water (about 10 seconds max). Invert onto a serving plate and gently lift the mold away.

Notes

Use silicone molds for easy unmolding. Chill overnight for best firmness and shape. Gently tap mold to remove bubbles before chilling. Handle unmolding gently to avoid tearing. Fresh fruit adds texture but don’t overfill to avoid weighing down gelatin.
