This Kraken Blue Hawaiian Jello Mold has Blue Hawaiian gelatin, spiced rum, whipped cream, pineapple, pineapple soda, and cream cheese.

The NHL is officially in full swing.

And this year the 32nd franchise was added.

That franchise was the Seattle Kraken.

Which I’m commemorating with this Kraken Blue Hawaiian Jello Mold.

The day they announced the name of the team I immediately went and bought the Nordic Ware Octopus Pan.

Sure, it’s not truly a kraken, but it’s the closest I’m going to get.

Especially in Bundt pan form.

Naming the team the Kraken was a social media goldmine.

I mean Release the Kraken was already a thing and now the NHL gets to capitalize on it.

While our arena is Climate Pledge Arena it’s called the Krakhouse…even though they are pushing for it to be the greenhouse.

And yes the fans are called Krakheads.

Which we are not offended by.

Within days of revealing the name Kraken Black Spiced Rum was the official rum of the team.

I originally tried making a spiced rum Bundt cake with this pan.

But because the cake turns brown when you bake it you lose the blue.

And well, you need the blue.

And so it became a jello mold.

Which octopi are more jello than they are cake so it works out.

That meant I had to use blue gelatin.

And so far I have only found two flavors that come in blue.

A berry and Blue Hawaiian.

It made the most sense to go with Blue Hawaiian since the drink involves rum and I could use Kraken rum.

And because Hawaii makes you think of the ocean.

Blue raspberry does not.

I find my Blue Hawaiian gelatin at Walmart but you can buy it online as well.

I put a link in the recipe.

You can use the blue raspberry flavor if you like.

I ended up adding blue food gel as well to really make it be blue.

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
