Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 packets Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 packets Flavored gelatin powder (e.g., cherry or strawberry for a bloody effect)
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 piece Food-safe disposable plastic glove
- 1 piece Twist tie or rubber band
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing and drying the food-safe disposable glove. Spray the inside of the glove lightly with non-stick cooking spray to make it easier to unmold the gelatin hand later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the packets of unflavored gelatin with 2 packets of flavored gelatin powder (choose cherry or strawberry for a red color).
Pour in 4 cups of boiling water and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 2 cups of cold water to the mixture and stir well to combine.
Carefully pour the prepared gelatin mixture into the glove, ensuring it fills all the fingers and the palm completely. Avoid leaving air bubbles in the fingers for a realistic look.
Secure the open end of the glove tightly with a twist tie or rubber band to prevent leakage.
Place the filled glove on a baking sheet or a flat surface in the refrigerator. Arrange the fingers in the desired position before the gelatin sets.
Refrigerate the hand for at least 4-6 hours or until it is completely firm.
Once the gelatin has set, carefully cut away the plastic glove with scissors to unveil the gelatin hand. Be gentle to avoid tearing the fingers.
Serve on a platter garnished with fake cobwebs, candies, or other spooky decorations for added Halloween effect. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
