X-wings and the Millennium Falcon take on the Death Star in a gelatin bundt cake. Because why not?

We may have just celebrated Star Wars Day, but May 25 is another landmark day in the Star Wars universe-- it’s the 40th anniversary of Star Wars! To celebrate this historic occasion, I’ve recreated the Battle of Yavin in gelatin form. Gelatin isn’t the traditional gift for a 40th anniversary? Well, it should be.

Imagine a fleet of X-wing starfighters and the Millennium Falcon--all headed towards the Death Star-- and all edible. A magical cinematic scene, ready to serve up for an epic Star Wars celebration.

I’m not going to lie, this recipe is a little more complicated than usual but it’s the 40th anniversary-- this will be a day long remembered! Take your time, focus, and you’ll hit your target. Remember: the Force will be with you, always.


Black Sesame Gelatin: Death Star & Millennium Falcon

You’ll need:

1 Death Star silicone mold by Kotobukiya
1 small Millennium Falcon silicone mold by Kotobukiya

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups whole milk
2 packets Knox gelatin

Directions:

1. In a spice grinder or food processor, blend the sesame seeds and sugar until finely ground.
2. Bring 1-½ cups of the milk to a boil, being careful not to scald.
3. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the remaining ½ cup milk until dissolved, then add to the boiling milk along with the sesame mixture. Stir until dissolved the gelatin is dissolved.
4. Close the Death Star mold and with a small funnel, carefully pour the mixture into the sphere. Pour the remaining mixture into the Millennium Falcon mold. Refrigerate the molds for 4-6 hours until solid.
