Pizza sauce
Frozen white roll dough balls
Pizza filling (cheese, pepperoni, ham, olives, mushrooms, etc.)
*Works better to cut the pizza filling into small pieces.
|
|
| Let the frozen dough
balls raise according to their instructions, or make your own pizza
dough. Using two balls per mold (about 1.5 oz) roll out dough
as thin as possible. Spray molds with vegetable spray.
Drape dough over mold slightly pushing dough in to cover the inside
of the mold leaving enough outside of the mold to cover the pizza
mix and make a closed shape. Mix up your pizza filling and
scoop into mold over dough. Pack well. Fold over excess
dough to cover the back. Knock these out onto a cookie
sheet. Poke a couple of times on top with a fork or
toothpick. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until
brown. When the pizza shapes are baked and cooled, color the
shapes with food edible markers. Click here to purchase food

Chocolate |
|
1) When molding chocolate in the molds,
it is best if you use "molding" chocolate. This is
available in candy supply and most craft stores. It is purchased in
bags of wafers in a variety of colors and flavors.
2) Do not spray the molds with any
release agent. The chocolate will come out easily on its own.
3) Melt wafers in a double boiler or
microwave. Be cautious, chocolate melts quickly! Pour the
melted chocolate in the molds. Tap mold on counter several
times. This releases air bubbles which can cause breakage. Put
in freezer about 15 minutes. Remove by tapping lightly on the
counter or even the palm of your hand. Do not twist.
4) Try mixing crisp rice cereal in the
melted chocolate before putting it in the molds. This spreads
out the chocolate and makes a crunch bar effect.
5) If you have several different
colored wafers, make a painter's palet by melting just one wafer of each
color on a plate. With a paint brush, you can paint different parts
of the mold first. When this is dry, then pour your main color of
chocolate in the mold. Or, make your main chocolate color first,
when this is done paint directly on your finished chocolate with the
painter's pallet of melted chocolate colors.
6) Fill 1/4 of mold with
chocolate. Let harden. Fill with slight softened ice cream
leaving about 1/8" space from the top. Pour chocolate over this
to fill the mold. Put in freezer to set. Remove by tapping
lightly on the counter or even the palm of your hand. Do not twist.

| Fill a measuring cup with water.
Let stand 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up air
bubbles. This prevents the ice from being cloudy. You could
also use distilled water to achieve a clear ice look. Fill molds
with water. Freeze completely. Unmold by placing in a
bowl of hot water for a few seconds or use a hot wet towel on the bottom
of the mold. Great for dressing up a party punch bowl.
Other Ideas:
1) Color ice with food coloring or punch.
2) Add colorful candy or fruit.
3) Layer the water.

Gelatin |
|
Spray your molds with
vegetable spray. Follow the instructions on the gelatin box, but
reduce the water by at least 50%. Fill molds with liquid gelatin and
place in fridge. When gelatin is firm, simply pull the sides of
the gelatin out. This will release the whole shape. Or
place in a bowl of warm water for 10 seconds.
