Cost: Recipe $4.26 / Serving $1.07
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) lime gelatin mix ($1.18)
- 1 cup water ($0.00)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream ($2.98)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar ($0.05)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.03)
- 6-7 cups ice cubes ($0.00)
- 1-2 drops pink food coloring ($0.02)
Instructions
- Decorate glasses. Draw zombie faces on four clear glasses using dry-erase markers. Set aside and avoid touching the designs.
- Dissolve gelatin. In a small saucepan, combine the lime gelatin mix and hot water. Stir until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature without setting.
- Whip cream. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Blend base. Add the ice cubes and cooled gelatin mixture to a blender. Blend for about 1 minute until slushy.
- Add cream. Add most of the whipped cream to the blender, reserving about 1 cup. Blend again until smooth with no large ice chunks.
- Color topping. Add the pink food coloring to the reserved whipped cream and gently mix or pulse until evenly tinted.
- Assemble. Divide the green drink between the prepared glasses and spoon the pink whipped cream over the top.
- Serve. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Gelatin temperature. Let the gelatin cool before blending to avoid melting excess ice and diluting flavor.
- Texture control. Ice creates thickness. Add more for a thicker drink if needed.
- Pink topping. Keeping the whipped cream chunky helps create a brain-like look.
- Glass art. Permanent marker works for longer display on glass only.
- Smoothness. Dissolving the gelatin first prevents gritty texture.
