Brain Food

[soc_puppet]

So my family has this old brain-shaped gelatin mold. We're also hosting a party a week from Friday. Dad wants to know if I have any ideas about something I could make with it.

"Dunno," said I, "let me consult the Internets."

So, Internets! This is where you come in!

I need a relatively party-ish food that can be made in a gelatin mold and will hold that shape once removed from said mold. Chocolate could work, but I'd want to go hollow, and while I'm sure I could figure that out without too much trouble, that also means we'd have to break it to eat it. Brains just seem more like a "scooping" food to me, though.

Anyhow, that's the deal. Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated <3

Could you do some kind of rice or quinoa pilaf? Something moist enough to hold together but not so wet it fell apart, maybe. Calrose rise seems to pack into shapes alright.

I'm not sure I really think of pilafs as "party food", though I suppose I'd just need the right recipe. I'll take a look around. Thanks :)
