🍧 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
-
1¼ cups unsweetened coconut milk (from a can, shaken well)
-
1 cup water
-
3 tbsp grass-fed gelatin powder (unflavored)
-
3 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
A few drops of natural red food coloring (beet powder or keto-safe coloring)
-
Optional: ½ tsp raspberry extract (for a “bloody brain” flavor)
🧠 Tool needed: Brain-shaped silicone mold (available on Amazon or baking stores)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over ½ cup of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 2: Heat the Coconut Milk
In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, remaining ½ cup of water, sweetener, vanilla extract, and raspberry extract (if using).
Heat over medium until it’s warm but not boiling.
Step 3: Dissolve the Gelatin
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm coconut milk mixture and whisk until fully dissolved and smooth.
💡 Tip: Don’t boil—just warm enough to dissolve.
Step 4: Add Color
Stir in a few drops of red food coloring until the mixture looks pale pink or reddish—like brain tissue.
You can swirl in a tiny bit of darker food coloring to create “veins” in the mold later.
Step 5: Pour & Chill
Pour the mixture into your lightly greased brain mold.
Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
Step 6: Unmold and Serve
Carefully invert the mold onto a flat serving plate.
If stuck, briefly dip the bottom of the mold in warm water (10–15 seconds) to loosen.
Optional: Decorate the plate with sugar-free raspberry sauce or “bloody” keto jam for dramatic effect.
