Just in time for Halloween! I'll show you how to make a cool Jell-o mold. We saw this brain mold at Alaskan & Proud last week and just had to have it. We made this beauty for last night's season premiere of The Walking Dead.
You'll need a mold, some olive oil, Jell-o and sour cream.
Here's what you do. Get some bowls out for your different Jell-o layers. Add one cup of boiling water to each Jell-o flavor. It is important that you DO NOT add the cold water like the box says. Your Jell-o will not be sturdy enough for the mold!
You are going to alternate your layers between clear Jell-o, and opaque Jell-o (not just for show; this helps with structure too). For your opaque layers, mix two tablespoons of sour cream into your bowl. You will want to start and end with a clear Jell-o layer. (We chose green and yellow pus for the lower layers as a hat tip to the meningitis outbreak on the East Coast ;) )
Grease your mold and pour the first layer in. Place mold in the fridge for 20 minutes. Your layer must be set just enough to pour the next one on top. Keep on layering your Jell-o like this, letting each layer set for about 20 minutes.
When all your layers are in, let the mold set overnight. When you are ready to serve, pull your mold out of the fridge and gently warm the outside with your hands. Place a plate on top of your mold and turn over. Voila! Jell-0 mold!
