Celebrate Halloween this year with a fun and festive drink that kids and adults alike can all enjoy. These frozen whipped zombie brains are made with just a few ingredients and a blender, this drink is sure to keep you feeling cool.
Take 4 clear glasses and make zombie faces on them with dry erase markers. Be careful as the image will rub off when touched. Set glasses aside.
In a small pot on the stove combine jello and warm boiling water until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool (but not set).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
In a blender combine the ice with the cooled lime jello mixture. Blend for about a minute.
Add in almost all of the whipped cream from the bowl, reserving one cup in the bowl. Blend again until well combined and no large ice chunks remain.
Add a drop or two of pink food coloring into the whipped cream and blend until combined and the leftover whipped cream is all pink.
Divide the green drink between your 4 glasses and spoon the pink brains over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the Jello mixture is at room temperature before use, or you may need to add more ice, potentially diluting the flavor.
Adding ice helps achieve a thicker consistency.
To create the pink "brains" topping, blend reserved whipped cream with a drop of pink food coloring and spoon it on for a chunky look.
For a more "permanent" zombie face on the glasses, use a black permanent marker, but make sure the glass is not plastic.
You can avoid pre-dissolving the mix, but it's recommended for a smoother, creamier texture, as undissolved Jello can make the drink gritty.
