Dissolve lemon gelatin in 1 cup water in double boiler, add marshmallows and stir to melt. Remove from heat. Add pineaple juice and cream cheese. Beat until well blended. Cool slightly fold in whipped cream and mayonaise. Chill untill thickened or firm for scooping into eyeballs.
Using a melonballer, scoop full balls of the mixture and set aside for decoration. To decorate, use food coloring and an old paintbrush and get creative. You will need black food coloring for th pupils. Also, if you are in a hurry, instead of painting the colored irises, you can dip the ball in a small pool of food coloring to approximate the iris, but still paint on the pupils.
Rubber ice cube trays work well with much less waste than the mellonballer. Spray the rubber trays with non-stick cooking spray beforehand like you would any gelatin mold. Pour the mixture into the trays and let them set in the refrigerator. Carefully pop the eyeballs out of the trays. Then, paint on the irises and pupils. |
