Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3 oz) of flavored gelatin (such as cherry or lime)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- Small round candies or peeled grapes (for eyeballs)
- Yogurt or coconut milk (optional, for white sclera)
- Food coloring (red, black, or green)
- Vegan gelatin or agar-agar (for dietary variations)
Instructions
- Boil 1 cup of water and dissolve the flavored gelatin powder thoroughly. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps. Add 1 cup of cold water and mix completely.
- Prepare your small round candies or peeled grapes to act as eyeballs. For an extra touch, add a tiny drop of black food coloring to mimic pupils.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into silicone molds or a shallow dish. Insert the candies or grapes into the mixture at different points, making sure they are submerged but visible.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. For quicker setting, use rapid chillers like the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker.
- If desired, dye small portions of gelatin with red or green food coloring, then pour these over the set base to resemble veins or blood vessels.
Notes
- Ensure candies or grapes are fully submerged but visible for a realistic eyeball effect.
- For extra creepiness, add food coloring in different shades to create veins or bloodshot effects.
- Make ahead: Prepare the gelatin with eyeballs a day in advance, then add fresh candies before serving.
- Use dietary alternatives like vegan gelatin or agar-agar if needed.
