What the heck? This test was kind of a fail. The ice cream wouldn’t release well from the plastic - I think the texture of the mould just not meant for that. So… it wasn’t cute. However, it was fun, funny, and tasty.
Well, I love a tacky turkey decoration and when I found this roasted bird jello mould at a thrift store a couple years ago, there was no way I was leaving it behind!
Neither TheMisterT nor I are particularly fond of jello, though, but this year I wanted to try to make something with it. A friend suggested using it to mould ice cream and YES!

It sort of freaks me out to eat food that looks like something else, but you did a good job mixing the two ice creams to look like a turkey covered in gravy! How fun! Definitely better than jello but in my head, I would be tasting turkey.
In Germany a lot of ice cream places offer ice cream that looks like other food. “Spaghettieis” being the most common, but things like fried eggs, pizza and steak can also be found.
You could always paint a thin layer of melted chocolate/white chocolate (or that ice cream topping that you freeze into a ‘shell’) to get the texture definition, then add the ice cream.
This is hilariously horrifying, or horrifyingly hilarious. But worth the try for the amusement!
I believe they make a caramel hard shell icecream topper, may be worth another go… you know, for craft-science.
And thanks for the shell/release suggestions @tendstowardschaos@sheepBlue@AntBee !
I might just give this another try with one of these and then another try with another.
+10 points for food jokes… tho I sort of feel like roast turkey and ice cream belong on opposite ends of a food spectrum for what conditions you want to eat them under (but maybe I’m just weird about not wanting ice cream when it’s cold out. )
It’s not a fail. It’s ice cream. It’s a win no matter what.
I also wonder if you put that chocolate sauce that hardens on the inside and stuck it in the fridge to firm up, then fill it with ice cream if that would help.
Good points! I do think I’m going to look for some of that hardening topping in a light brown and give it a try. That said, a friend pointed me to this selection from Baskin-Robbins.
But, I love salted caramel ice cream, so I would have definitely eaten it.

Ice cream is TheMisterT’s favorite!
Gobble, gobble! I’m grateful for this awesome featured project this week!
