Made this for our party last night...huge hit...everyone loved it! Cool gross factor (served it with a small ice cream scoop) but tasted yummy...should have made two of them. Only thing I changed I put 1 cup of schnapps and 1/2 cup peach flavored vodka for alittle bit more punch.
This was a huge win at my adult halloween party! Creepy and cool. I walked around the party with the brain on a silver platter and served slices to my party-goers. It wasn't sticky or slimy so you could use your fingers. Unlike a lot of jello shots this actually tasted great.
The finishing result was awesome the brain was sturdy and looked really good! And it tasted good too I used peach jello and it tasted like peaches and cream with the evaporated milk. I would like to play around with this recipe and try out new and gory things in the future!
We substituted strawberry jello instead of peach and used a full pint of peach schnapps. It was fully gelled in approximately 5 hours and tasted fantastic!
This recipe is excellent as is however to make it really realistic I added drops of red and blue color to the main mix until it looked gray. I not only painted it (using a q-tip) with the food color mixture afterward but also drizzled grenadine on top to look like blood. Served on a cutting board with a small cleaver. Unfortunately it was barely touched since it looked too real. The few people who dared said it was delicious though. I also made a "pig aorta" in a shot glass using the same method - grossed out a lot of folks on social media! (see in photos above) You could use this recipe for all kinds of different molds - I'm thinking severed fingers.
Worked like a charm! I made a non-alcoholic version of this substituting water for the alcohol. We used it for a school haunted house - kids thought this was awesome! Set up really well and looked gross on the table.
Sliced the brain with a big chef knife for effect. Tasted great!
so easy to make and sooo good!
I made this brain for my work Halloween party and it was a big hit! It looked just real enough wiggled the right amount and tasted great! I used orange Jello and food colored it to the grossest color possible. Simple recipe with a big presentation impact!
