Instructions
Prep
If you have a brand new brain mold, wash it in warm soapy water and then rinse & dry it thoroughly.
Start your water boiling.
Spray the inside of the brain mold with cooking spray. Stabilize the brain mold in a bowl so it doesn't tip over. Set aside.
Make the Jello Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the Jello in the boiling water. Whisk until completely dissolved.
Pour in the cold water, stir.
Pour in the evaporated milk. Stir well.
Optional Coloring Step
If you are using food coloring, add it now and whisk well.
Add to the Mold
Then pour the mixture into the brain mold.
Chill
Place in the fridge and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
Serve
To release the Jello brain from the mold, gently shake it to loosen it before inverting it onto a plate. It should plop down onto the plate. If not, shake it again and invert again.
Notes
Make-Ahead
You can make this ahead a couple days and just keep it in the mold in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap.
