Return to the fridge to set for another 30 minutes or so. It should be a bit bigger, making a pool about 3-4cm in diameter. Pour the blue mixture on top of the black pupil layer. When the black pupils have set, remove the moulds from the fridge.You can choose to only lightly mix the colouring in so that you can have some streaks of colour in the irises. Pour out 100 mls of the liquid and place it in another measuring cup with a pouring spout. Return to your original coconut milk mixture.Place in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.If not you may have to make a larger pool. It should naturally make a round shape if the base is spherical. Pour the mixture into the base of your mould until it creates a small pool at the bottom which is 2 cm in diameter. Hold the pourer directly over the middle of your spherical mould.Add 10 drops of black food colouring, or however much you need to get a jet black mixture. Spoon out around 50 mls of the liquid and place it into a measuring cup with a pouring spout.Bring to the boil and add simmer for 5 minutes.Place the coconut milk in a saucepan and add the sugar and powdered agar agar.Most small bowls or even other egg poachers have a slightly flattened bottom and this will stop the liquid from setting in a circular shape for the smaller black pupils. You can also use other spherical or semi-spherical moulds but make sure that the base is perfectly round. We have used these semi-sphere Kitchen Craft Large, Single non-stick egg poacher cups. Because they have their own stand and don’t need to stand up on their own, the base of these moulds is completely round which is what we need.Īlternatively you can use completely spherical moulds like these Sphere Ice Ball Maker Ice Trays.Īs these are whole spheres (as opposed to the semi-sphere moulds we’ve used here) you may want to double the ingredient quantities in this recipe if you still want to get 8 round eyeballs.
