Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packets of unflavored gelatin (about 4 teaspoons)
- 2 cups of boiling water
- 1 cup of tonic water (for glowing effect)
- Natural food coloring in neon shades: blue, green, purple, and pink
- Edible glow-in-the-dark food paint (optional, available online)
- Fresh fruit slices for garnish (blueberries, grapes, kiwi)
- Silicone molds or clear plastic cups for setting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1 cup of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Boil 2 cups of water and pour into the gelatin mixture, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of tonic water to the mixture; the quinine in tonic water glows under UV light, creating a bioluminescent effect.
- Divide the gelatin mixture into separate bowls for each color you want to create.
- Add natural food coloring to each bowl—neon blue, green, purple, and pink—to mimic Pandora’s vibrant bioluminescent flora and fauna.
- Pour the colored gelatin into molds or cups, layering different colors for a stunning visual effect. Let each layer set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before adding the next.
- If desired, use edible glow-in-the-dark food paint to add luminous accents once the jello is fully set.
Notes
- Use clear silicone molds or transparent cups to showcase the glowing layers.
- For the best glow effect, serve under UV or black light.
- Garnish with fresh fruit slices like blueberries, grapes, or kiwi for added flavor and color.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and glow.
