Halloween Eyeball Calpico Jellies
I wondered if I could make eyeball shaped jellies, and experimented a bit. I served them at a Halloween party, where they were a big hit.
If you heat up the small plates you'll use to make the black and colored jellies for the irises and pupils beforehand with hot water, the jelly won't harden before you've had time to mix in the food coloring.
If you want to make the jellies less sweet, use 80 ml of Calpico and 180 ml of water. For 10 bite-sized eyeball jellies. Recipe by Uniikura

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I used half-round silicone chocolate molds that I bought in a 100 yen shop (a Japanese dollar store).
- 2
If you don't have molds like this, use any half-round shaped containers you have, such as small sake cups.
- 3
You also need two different sized small round objects that you can make cutouts with, such as these cake decorating tips.
- 4
Combine the water, Calpico concentrate and powdered kanten in a small pan and turn on the heat.
- 5
Heat through while mixing slowly until it's just about to boil. Turn the heat down to low, and simmer for 1 minute to dissolve the kanten.
- 6
Take 40 ml of the jelly liquid out of the pan, and divide into two 20 ml portions.
- 7
Put the remaining jelly liquid, pan and all, in a larger pot full of 175F/80C hot water to prevent it from solidifying.
- 8
Prepare 2 small flat plates. Add black food coloring to one plate and blue (or another color) food coloring to the other one. Add 20 ml of the jelly liquid that you reserved to each plate, and mix rapidly.
- 9
The critical time is when the jelly liquid is still hot! It firms up in no time, so work quickly.
- 10
When the food coloring is dissolved, chill the plates, uncovered, in the refrigerator for about 3 minutes.
- 11
Cut out the iris and pupil parts using the 2 different sized cutouts. Use the small one for the black jelly and the larger one for the colored jelly.
- 12
Once all the irises and pupils are cut out, take the small pan with the white jelly liquid out of the hot water bath.
- 13
Put the black circles in the bottom of the molds, and press down lightly with your finger.
- 14
Add the colored circles on top, and press lightly in the same way to secure the two circles together.
- 15
Add just a little bit of the white jelly liquid to each mold with a spoon, and leave for 3 minutes.
- 16
After 3 minutes add the rest of the white Calpico jelly liquid. Chill and firm up the jellies in the refrigerator, and they're done!
- 17
Pour some grape juice into small tasting glasses, and float an eyeball on top of each one.
- 18
You can also float them in a fruit punch bowl for a party, or pack them in a jar to give as a gift...they'll be even more creepy that way.
- 19
Despite the way they look, they just taste like Calpico jellies - no need to worry.

Fluffy Calpis Yogurt Jelly Fluffy Calpis Yogurt Jelly
As I was wondering if it was possible to make a chilled dessert using what I had at home, I found the ingredients pictured above, and was able to come up with a flavor that reminded me of rare cheesecake by making a fluffy jelly that melts in your mouth.You can top it with any kind of fruit. The heavy cream changes the texture. When you don't whip it, it is heavy in your mouth.When pouring this directly into cups without using a mold, you can reduce the amount of gelatin to produce an even fluffier texture.

Bursting with Fruit Juice! Sparkling Jelly Treats Bursting with Fruit Juice! Sparkling Jelly Treats
I made this through trial and error and finally reached this. It is refreshing in the summer, and the combination of the textures of sugar and gelatin became a texture that my children like.This will stick even if you wet the mold, so make sure to spread parchment paper. These will have a nicer firmness 2~3 days after making them, and the granulated sugar will have sunk in, making them more delicious.This is made using gelatin, so I store it in the fridge to prolong the texture.
