One batch turned out a little more on the blue side. You can see a slight differentiation in color between some of my eyeballs different quantities in the color will result in slightly different colors. I placed red, green, and blue food coloring in the bottom of a mixing cup, about the size of a pea for each color. You can make black food coloring at home by combining equal parts of red, green, and blue food coloring.

How to make black food coloring for edible eyeballsįor this recipe to resemble cow eyeballs, we have to make our own black food coloring. Nothing worse than trying to eat an eyeball and having it roll away, amirite? That way when people go to eat it, it isn’t rolling around on their plate. You could fill the mold entirely to the top and make a perfect ball, but I left a little space so that my eyeballs would have a small, flat bottom. (Well, nearly perfect I did notice a bit of a line where they two halves of the sphere mold met, but was still very pleased with the results.) That’s great because it means you don’t have to try and awkwardly shove some liquid through a tiny hole to get the perfect spheres. As you place the black cap, the silicone sides will displace the liquid upwards, and air will vent out from the small hole in the top! When you fill your mold nearly to the top with the desired liquid, you then take the black cap and slowly press it down on top of the mold. I have tried other sphere molds like this one and was really disappointed when they didn’t work at all! If you want to get nice, sphere-like eyeballs, stick with the sphere mold brand I recommended. The first ingredient in that brand is sugar, and it won’t yield the same results as this recipe. Avoid the Gold Coin brand agar agar at all costs. I HIGHLY recommend you purchase the Telephone brand agar agar. The consistency is kind of like a very stiff pudding. Good times.Īgar agar is perfect for this giant eyeball recipe because it is rigid and holds up to a spherical mold well. My college roommates were Taiwanese and Indonesian, so they introduced this McDonald’s-eating Indiana girl to all sorts of cool new foods I had never heard of…we wandered through Asian food stores like H-Mart and Mitsuwa in search of rare delicacies. My love affair with agar agar started more than ten years ago. It is colorless, odorless, and pretty bland on its own, so you need to use either flavored liquids and/or sugars to liven up the flavor! If you don’t, you’ll be sorry, trust me. It is made from seaweed, so it is okay for vegans and vegetarians to consume it is also gluten-free! If you aren’t familiar with agar agar, it basically the plant-based equivalent of gelatin. We are going to be using agar agar powder to create our edible eyeballs.
