What is a Jelly Mold?
A jelly mold, also known as a gelatin mold or jello mold, is a kitchen utensil used to shape and set gelatin desserts, like Jello or other flavored gelatin mixtures, into various decorative shapes.
These molds can be made from various materials, including plastic, glass, metal, or silicone, and they come in an array of shapes and sizes, ranging from simple rounds to intricate designs.
How to make a Halloween Jello
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 envelope of grape flavored gelatin (or you can substitute with an envelope of black gelatin with red fruit flavor if you can find it)
- 1 dropper of liquid black vegetable dye
- 1 can evaporated milk (Carnation)
- 1 can of condensed milk (dairy)
- 1 can of half cream (Nestle) you can replace it with sour cream
- 1 stick of Cream Cheese (Philadelphia)
- 1 splash of vanilla
- 1 cup cold cow’s milk
- 4 envelopes of gelatin
- 3 cups of water
- 1 splash of cooking oil
- Jelly mold
PREPARATION:
1. We start by hydrating the gelatin. We place the gelatin envelopes in the shape of a rain in the cup of cold milk, stir well so that it dissolves a little and let it rest for 15 minutes. (it should look gelled “curdled”).
2. After 15 min. and the gelatin is already hydrated, we add the 3 milks, the condensed milk, the evaporated milk, the half cream or sour cream (if you can’t find half cream), the cream cheese stick, the splash of vanilla and we blend well
3. While the ingredients are blending, place the hydrated gelatin in the microwave for 30 seconds. Once melted, add it to the blender while still moving to integrate it well into the mixture and prevent lumps from forming.
4. Grease a jelly or donut mold with a splash of oil, making sure that all sides are well greased. But without excess.
5. Pour the 3 milk mixture into the previously greased mold and refrigerate for 2 hours.
6. Once the 2 hours have passed, we heat a cup of water, once it is very hot, pour in the grape gelatin envelope and stir well so that the gelatin dissolves well.
7. When the gelatin has dissolved well, pour in the remaining 2 cups of cold water and stir well,
8. One the gelatin has dissolved, add a few drops of black liquid vegetable coloring, do this until you obtain the desired color. (if you find the envelope of black gelatin already prepared, skip this step)
9. Once you have the desired color, let it cool a little so that the gelatin that is already set does not melt.
10. Take the milk gelatin out of the refrigerator and with very clean hands begin to remove the edges of the mold. Use a spatula and insert it into one edge to ensure that the gelatin is perfectly separated from the edges of the mold.
11. Insert the spatula on the side of the mold so that a small hole is formed and begin to pour the black gelatin there little by little, remember that it must already be cold so that it does not melt the milk gelatin.
12. Insert the spatula along all the edges so that the black gelatin penetrates well and the milk gelatin begins to float, as if it were a kind of float, with the milk gelatin in the center and the black gelatin covering the white gelatin. .
13. Once the 2 gelatins have been incorporated, refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours, if possible let it set overnight.
14. After 4 hours or overnight, and the gelatin is completely set, with your very clean hands, peel off the edges of the mold and disassemble it on an extended plate and decorate as you wish.
15. Cut into slices, serve and enjoy.
