I wanted to share with you my Halloween Jello from this year’s family party. Our Brain in a jar Jello. It was creepy, awesome, and the talk of the party. It was also very fun to serve. I’d ask each guest, “Brains?” Then dig in with the scooper to dish out the brains. It would make a slurping slimy sound that was perfect.
I started to write the recipe for this dish but decided it was a little too advanced for this blog’s first recipe. The blue gelatin isn’t just a box of blueberry Jello. That would be too dark and you wouldn’t be able to see the brain. It’s clear gelatin with one drop of turquoise food coloring.
The Brain is made from Strawberry and Raspberry Jello with some gelatin and whipping cream.
I’m going to start with a few of my basic recipes and work up to this level. I’ll definitely have this recipe up by next Halloween. If you would like the recipe and think you are up for a challenge message me and I can send it to. you.
In the meantime, here are a few supplies you might need to get.
- a brain jello mold. I bought mine at the local Dollar Store. But if you can’t find one there, you can find one one Amazon here.
- a trifle bowl
- a syringe
- a couple boxes of Jello in the color and flavor you want the brain
- clear gelatin. You can use Knox gelatin. I use SuperClear gelatin from Amazon, here.
- citric acid, to flavor the clear gelatin
- flavors to flavor the clear gelatin. I use clear flavors like you would use to flavor suckers, like these.

Jello Like You’ve Never Seen Before
Well Hello! I am so excited that you are here! Dreams really are coming true because I have dreamed of starting this website so many years. To introduce myself, my name is Danica and I love creating fun jello dishes and jello art.
It has been a hobby of mine for over 20 years. I started by bringing a jello trifle to missionary farewells of family and friends. It was a super yummy jello with strawberry or raspberry jello, strawberries and bananas, and banana pudding. Super easy and very good. Pretty soon, family started requesting me to bring the jello.
Now, Christmas Eve would not be the same without my 16 Layer Jello Trifle. Over the years, my jello creations have become sort of a challenge for me to always see if I can one up my jello from last year. I have looked around the internet and nobody does a jello trifle quite like mine.
They keep telling me that I need to write a jello cookbook. And I’d love to. That is another dream of mine. For now, I decided to start this blog as a stepping stone to that elusive cookbook one day.
Earlier this year I started the Jello Home on Instagram and on Youtube. My kids love getting involved in the videos on Youtube. I am still trying to figure things out, but hey everyone has to start somewhere. But if there is one thing I do know, it’s jello. I’m super excited to start sharing some of my favorites with you and I’d love to see your jello and gelatin dishes too.
Be excited for more fun to come!
