Question 1

Mine didn't appear to come with any instructions. Do I just make jello recipe as usual? How do you make it creamy colored?

Accepted Answer

I use either 2 boxes of the small jello or one large box.   If you want the brain to be a little firmer you can drop the amount of water used, or add one or two pkgs of unflavored gelitin. You can use almost anything to make it "creamy" - as long as the jello has cooled a bit. Milk, baileys, condensed milk.... I usually of the blue. (can't remember the flavor.) I then use green and red food coloring to make the jello black. Then I add 2 large containers of cottage cheese to the cooling jello mixture. (an actual brain is gray in color).  Now, the last one I made didn't come out of the mold cleanly, but that was even BETTER!! I had a small tube of red frosting/gel and created a "hemorrhage" where it hadn't come out cleanly! (now I've given away my secrets!)  Hope this has helped!

Question 2

Look like pretty deep crevices in the mold design (which makes it look so realistic).  Is it easy to unmold?

Accepted Answer

Looks crazy awesome.  Very easy to release the mold.

Question 3

Is there a trick to getting jello out? I've used plain strawberry jello and after it was all set we couldn't get it out without breaking the brain.

Accepted Answer

I sprayed a little pam i pours\ed the jello inside, and after it set, I placed the mold inside some warm water before flipping the brain out on a plate.  Hope this helps.
