Ingredients
Scale
- 3 (3 oz) boxes of unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- Food coloring: blue, teal, or icy shades
- Edible silver glitter or shimmer dust
- Small plastic Han Solo figurine or Star Wars-themed decoration (optional)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk
- Clear plastic mold or rectangular cake pan
Instructions
- Start by boiling 2 cups of water and pouring it into a heatproof bowl.
- Add the unflavored gelatin packets, whisking constantly until fully dissolved.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Add a few drops of blue or teal food coloring to achieve the icy, metallic look of carbonite.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into your plastic mold or rectangular pan, ensuring it fills evenly.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, until fully set.
- If using a plastic Han Solo figurine, place it carefully into the mold before the gelatin fully hardens, or embed it afterwards.
- Gently loosen the gelatin from the mold and transfer it onto a serving plate.
- Sprinkle edible shimmer dust or silver glitter on the surface for a metallic, sci-fi effect.
- Optionally, drizzle some clear syrup or edible glue to create a glossy, icy look.
Notes
- Keep refrigerated to maintain shape and freshness.
- Store in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap; avoid freezing to prevent texture changes.
- Use gel or paste food coloring for vibrant, consistent coloring.
