👩‍🍳 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.
