Ingrediants
Edible Fake Blood with Corn Syrup
- 120 ml of berry punch
- 300 g of corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons of red food coloring
- 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
Edible Fake Blood with Powdered Sugar
- 450 g of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of red food coloring
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 240 ml of water
Edible Fake Blood with Flour
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 240 ml of water
- 2 tablespoons of red food coloring
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Make Edible Fake Blood with Corn Syrup
Step 1. Pour the ingredients into a blender
Take a blender and calculate the necessary doses. Measure and put each ingredient in the blender. With this recipe you will be able to get a good amount of fake blood to use and eat. You will need:
- 120 ml of berry punch
- 300 g of corn syrup or white molasses
- 2 tablespoons of red food coloring
- 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
Step 2. Blend the ingredients until smooth and homogeneous
Put the lid on the blender and run the appliance for about 30 seconds to mix the ingredients that will form the fake blood. You could take a break after 15 seconds and turn it back on again. This way, you'll make sure you dissolve any lumps of cocoa powder or cornstarch.
If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor
Step 3. Correct the color of the fake blood
Remove the blender lid and dip a spoon into the mixture to check the color. Rain it down onto a white paper towel so you get a better idea of the final shade. If you need to fix it, you can add more red food coloring, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder.
For example, if the mixture turns pink or looks too light, add a few more drops of red food coloring and mix again. Instead, if it turns bright red, pour in some chocolate syrup or cocoa powder and blend again
Step 4. Consider making it denser
If you want it to be thicker and look stickier, add more corn syrup. If you need more, you can double the amount of corn syrup. Keep in mind that you will probably need to add more red food coloring, as it will be diluted during this step.
If you don't want to use corn syrup, you can replace it with white molasses
Method 2 of 3: Make Edible Fake Blood with Powdered Sugar
Step 1. Mix the water and powdered sugar
Pour 240ml of water into a blender or food processor. Add 450 g of powdered sugar.
Step 2. Blend the water and icing sugar
Cover and mix the two ingredients for about 30 seconds. The sugar should dissolve completely in the water.
You will likely need to stir the mixture longer to break up any lumps of sugar
Step 3. Add the cocoa and red food coloring
Pour 2 tablespoons of red food coloring into the blender. Put the lid on and operate the appliance until the dough has reached a uniform color. Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and mix the mixture again.
The cocoa will allow the fake blood to thicken slightly and give it a more realistic shade of red
Step 4. Correct the color
Remove the blender lid and dip a spoon into the mixture to check the color. Rain it down on a white paper napkin so you get a better idea of the final shade. Add more red dye or cocoa powder to achieve the color you want.
You can transfer the fake blood to a spray bottle and apply it when you're ready to use it. Just keep it in the refrigerator if you don't need it
Method 3 of 3: Making Edible Fake Blood with Flour
Step 1. Put the water and flour in a saucepan
Take a saucepan and pour in 240ml of water. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and whisk the mixture to remove any lumps. Try to dissolve the flour.
If you don't have a whisk, you can use a fork to quickly mix the water and flour
Step 2. Heat the mixture
Put it on the stove over high heat until it begins to boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn the gas down to medium-low heat so that only a few bubbles reach the surface. Simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off and let cool.
By boiling these two ingredients, you will get a thicker fake blood mixture
Step 3. Incorporate the red food coloring
Pour 2 tablespoons of red food coloring into the now cold flour and water mixture. Beat with a whisk or stir until the dough has reached a completely homogeneous color.
You can add more red food coloring if you want to give the fake blood a more vibrant hue
