Using a mix of gelatin, fruit juices, and lychees filled with blueberries for the eyeballs, you can craft a visually striking dessert that captivates both the eyes and the taste buds.
With a serving size of 4-6 people, this recipe is ideal for small get-togethers or as a delightful addition to a larger party spread. Follow the steps below to conjure up this hauntingly delicious treat.
Ingredients for 4-6 servings:
- 1 package of lemon or lime-flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold white grape juice
- 1 can of lychees, drained
- 1 pint of fresh blueberries
- 12 clear plastic cups or shot glasses
Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare the Gelatin Base: Begin by dissolving the package of lemon or lime-flavored gelatin in one cup of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved, confirming there are no granules left.
- Add the Juice: Pour in one cup of cold white grape juice into the dissolved gelatin mixture. Stir well to combine. The grape juice adds sweetness and a slightly tangy flavor, complementing the citrusy gelatin.
- Create the Eyeballs: Take the drained lychees and insert a fresh blueberry into the cavity of each lychee fruit. The blueberries should be small enough to fit snugly, creating the appearance of a pupil within the lychee “eyeball.”
- Assemble the Jello Shots: Arrange the prepared lychee “eyeballs” into each of the 12 clear plastic cups or shot glasses. Position them so the blueberry “pupils” face outward for maximum effect.
- Pour the Gelatin Mixture: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the lychee “eyeballs” in each cup, filling them to the brim. The gelatin will hold the eyeballs in place as it sets, creating a spooky floating effect.
- Chill Until Set: Place the filled cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set. This will guarantee that the eyeballs are suspended perfectly within the jello.
Extra Tips:
For an even spookier presentation, consider using a black light to make the jello shots glow, as tonic water can be substituted for white grape juice for a fluorescent effect.
Be sure to keep these jello shots refrigerated until serving to maintain their shape and texture.

Not only are they bound to be a conversation starter at your gathering, but they’re also simple to prepare, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your Halloween festivities.
Whether you’re hosting a family-friendly gathering or a grown-up Halloween bash, these Gory Bloody Brain Jello Molds are bound to impress. Made without alcohol, they’re suitable for all ages and can be enjoyed guilt-free by everyone. The recipe is designed to serve 4-6 people, making it perfect for small to medium-sized gatherings. With just a few ingredients and a little patience while the gelatin sets, you’ll have a spectacularly spooky treat ready in no time.
Ingredients for 4-6 servings:
- 3 cups boiling water
- 2 packets (6 oz each) of cherry-flavored gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Brain-shaped gelatin mold
Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare the Gelatin Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiling water with the cherry-flavored gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Cool and Add Condensed Milk: Once the gelatin is dissolved, add the cold water and stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated. This will give the gelatin a slightly opaque look, adding to the brainy effect.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into the brain-shaped mold. Confirm it’s filled to the top, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
- Prepare the Berry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain to remove seeds if desired.
- Unmold the Jello: Once the gelatin is set, gently remove it from the mold. You may need to run a little warm water over the outside of the mold to help loosen it.
- Serve with “Bloody” Sauce: Place the jello brain on a serving plate and drizzle with the berry sauce to mimic dripping blood. Serve immediately for the best effect.
Extra Tips:
For a more realistic appearance, use a brain mold with detailed ridges and grooves; this will enhance the visual effect of your jello brains.
If you’re having trouble removing the gelatin from the mold, submerging the mold in warm water for a few seconds can help release it more easily.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the berry sauce by adding more or less sugar according to your taste.
Finally, if you’re short on time, pre-made berry sauce can be used as a substitute for the homemade version.
Zombie Apocalypse Lime Jello

These jello shots are easy to make and require minimal ingredients, making them an ideal choice when you’re short on time but still want to impress your guests. The trick is to balance the sweetness with just the right amount of tartness, and you can even add some fun garnishes like gummy worms or candy eyeballs to enhance the spooky theme.
This recipe is designed to serve 4-6 people, perfect for a small gathering or as part of a larger spread of Halloween treats.
Ingredients (Serves 4-6):
- 2 packets of lime-flavored jello (3 ounces each)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Gummy worms or candy eyeballs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Jello Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the contents of the lime jello packets. Carefully add 2 cups of boiling water to the bowl. Stir the mixture continuously until the jello powder has completely dissolved, ensuring there are no granules left.
- Combine with Cold Ingredients: Add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture, followed by 1 cup of lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. If you desire a more vibrant green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
- Pour into Cups: Set out your serving cups or jello shot cups on a tray. Carefully pour the jello mixture into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. This allows room for any garnishes.
- Chill: Place the tray of jello cups in the refrigerator. Allow the jello to set for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the jello has set, remove the cups from the refrigerator. Top each jello shot with a gummy worm or candy eyeball for a spooky touch before serving.
Extra Tips: To make your Zombie Apocalypse Lime Jello Shots even more fun, consider using themed cups or adding other Halloween-themed candies like candy corn or small plastic spiders as decorations on top.
If you’re preparing these for kids, involve them in the decoration process for a fun activity. Additionally, if you need to make these in advance, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days before serving, maintaining their flavor and texture.
