Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages (3 oz each) of lime-flavored gelatine (or any green-flavored gelatine for vibrant color)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- Plastic army men figures (non-edible, food-safe or toy-safe, preferably washable)
- Optional: edible glitter or sprinkles for extra fun
Instructions
- Ensure your plastic army men are clean and dry. Handle with care to avoid damage.
- Lightly spray the figures with cooking spray or a silicone lubricant to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatine in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a rectangular dish lined with plastic wrap for easy removal.
- Allow the gelatin to cool slightly but not set, around 20-30 minutes.
- Arrange the army men figures carefully on the surface of the semi-liquid gelatin, pressing them gently to ensure they are partially submerged.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
- Once set, carefully remove the silicone mold or gently lift the gelatin from the dish.
- Cut into portions if using a dish, or serve the whole mold. Add edible glitter or sprinkles for extra visual appeal.
Notes
- Handle the plastic army figures gently to prevent damage.
- Do not freeze as it may damage the figures or alter the texture.
- Prepare the gelatin slightly ahead and embed the figures just before serving for best visual effects.
