  • Welcome to 'How To cook That' I am Ann Reardon Today we are making a gravity falls themed

  • eye balls and a hand in a jar

  • To make the eyeballs place some yellow, blue, green and more yellow jelly or jello if you're

  • on the other side of the world, crystals into a bowl and then add a tiny bit of instant

  • coffee to one of the yellows so we can make a brown colour.

  • Add cold water and stir well.

  • I'll put all of the recipe quantities that you need on the howtocookthat.net website

  • for you.

  • Repeat that with each of them.

  • Then once you've let them sit for a couple of minutes.

  • Microwave on high until it just starts to boil be careful that they don't boil over.

  • Take a sphere ice-cube tray, you can buy these online I'll put a link to where I got them

  • below.

  • And then add some colour to each one, if you use a measuring spoon you can easily get them

  • all the same size.

  • I am going to fill a big mold and a smaller one as well to give two sizes of eyeballs

  • just like you get in gravity falls jar.

  • Place them in the fridge to set.

  • To make the pupil you will need white chocolate, milk and gelatin and of course some black

  • colouring.

  • Add the gelatin to the milk, stir and yep let it sit for a couple of minutes.

  • Once the gelatin has softened microwave it on high until it just starts to boil.

  • Pour that over the white chocolate.

  • Push the chocolate down so it is all under the hot liquid so that it can melt it.

  • Then stir that well and add in some black food colouring and stir it again.

  • Put that into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or you could just cut the corner

  • off a plastic bag if you don't have a piping bag.

  • Pipe a black pupil into the middle of each one and then put that in the fridge to set.

  • To make the white of the eye you will need vanilla yoghurt and gelatin.

  • Mix half of the yoghurt with the gelatine.

  • If you are vegetarian you can swap agar agar instead in this recipe.

  • You will just have to refer o your jar for how much you need.

  • If you want sweeter eyeballs you could use vanilla pudding here or you could just add

  • more sugar.

  • to the yoghurt.

  • Leave the gelatine to soften for a few minutes.

  • Then microwave until it is melted.

  • Pout that into the other half of the yoghurt and stir it really well.

  • Let it cool to room temperature so it doesn't melt the bits of the eyeballs that we have

  • already set.

  • Then pour it into the mold up to the fill line.

  • Then add the top one and push down and you'll see it is just starting to come out of the

  • top the means they are full.

  • And then add an elastic bands around to hold it tightly shut and place in the fridge to

  • set.

  • Once they are set gently ease the top off the mold and lift it up, look at those eyeballs.

  • Then place them into your jar arranging them so they are looking towards the front.

  • Then add the sale and dollar sign you can print those out from my website.

  • In gravity falls you can see a hand in a jar on the shelf behind the cash register.

  • To make a hand melt some white chocolate with a little bit of milk chocolate to give it

  • some colour.

  • Take a small glove, make sure it is not cotton lined or this wont work.

  • Pour in the melted chocolate.

  • Shake it down making sure all of the fingers are full and there are no air bubbles then

  • secure the top with an elastic band.

  • To make it set in a nice hand shape just rest the hand over a piece of fruit and that will

  • like hollow out the palm areas there.

  • Once it is set remove the band and cut away the glove.

  • I kind of feel like I am doing surgery here just taking off jeans of a broken leg or something.

  • And then place it in your jar.

  • Now if it doesn't fit you could go and buy a bigger jar and that would be the easiest

  • option.

  • Or if you are determined to make it fit like me you can shave off some of the chocolate

  • from the side and then when it still wont fit cut off a finger and re-attach it later.

  • You will also want to cut off the base off at the wrist so the hand stands upright in

  • the jar.

  • Now to add some details using your knife cut an indent where the fingernails should be.

  • Then cut some grooves where the knuckles are.

  • And add some details on the back of the hand indenting it down a bit in-between the knuckles.

  • Flip it over and add the crease marks on the fingers where the fingers bend and on the

  • palm of the hand add a few lines there too.

  • Add it into your jar and reattach the missing finger if you need to.

  • Now that your hand is in the jar you can add some yellow drink which is like the formaldehyde

  • that's the liquid that preserves these potted specimens.

  • If you're having a gravity falls party you could put this hand in a glass drink dispenser

  • which would be pretty disgusting but it would look good.

  • There is also another jar in the shop which has a brain in it, you can check out my old

  • Indiana jones video for how to make a cheesecake brain.

  • Subscribe to 'How to cook that' for more crazy sweet creations click here for the recipe,

  • here to go to my youtube channel, and here for last weeks chocolate Chewbacca cake and

  • here for that Indiana Jones brain one.

  • Gravity Falls was requested by agcdragon, lai v, mr blubbers, miriam mabel zunga sanchez,

  • jessica and all these other lovely subscribers you can put your requests in the comments

  • below and try and figure out the code.
