Project Bleeding Heart: Heart shaped pudding with real human blood

Project Bleeding Heart started off innocently enough – my girlfriend found a heart shaped sugar piece on top of a cookie during Hari Raya and (forcibly) inserted it into my mouth, saying that she has metaphorically given her heart to me. Thus, I was coerced to reciprocate in kind and she insisted on me personally making an edible heart for her during our second monthsary.

ingredients

I guess she didn’t know how far I would go. Be careful what you wish for…you just might get it. πŸ˜‰

You will need:

Field Song Egg Pudding Powder
Arnott’s Tim Tam Love Potions – Chocolate Mud
“It’s love at first bite”
Arnott’s Tim Tam Crush – Mocha Hazelnut
“It’s one Crush that’s sure to end in love…”
Nestle Reduced Fat Cream
Nestle Milo Grab N Go can
Win Vokda Ice Purple XS
Heart shaped molds

Optional:
Razor blade
A few drops of blood from your veins

no heart

The first challenge was getting the heart shaped mold. It was much more difficult than I thought. Heart shaped molds should be everywhere, right? It’s just about the most common design! I thought it would be everywhere. Unfortunately, actually finding a heart shaped mold took us to three (3) different places, to no avail. We found molds in the shape of stars, triangles, circles, and even weird oblique designs…but no hearts.

big heart

The closest we got was this HUGE heart shaped non-stick baking pan…a bit of an overkill for this project. Plus, I don’t think I would be able to bleed enough to fill the pan. I would probably pass out from blood loss or something before the colossal pan filled up.

barbie

We finally managed to get two (admittedly) cheesy Barbie knockoffs molds from a Chinese specialty import outlet (the retail industry prefers the technical term “Cina Mari shop”). It’s made of melamine infused plastic and has a Barbie look-alike imprint, but it was heart shaped and for all intents and purposes, it was sufficient for the single-use, disposable nature of the project.

tim tams

The Arnott’s Tim Tams were procured in New Zealand. My sister just came back and brought back a box of the stuff. I went for the two romance-themed special edition Tim Tams for the project. Tim Tam Love Potions and Tim Tam Crush (as in infatuation, not demolish) are limited edition Tim Tams that I decided to use as a garnish for the pudding.

process

The directions for making the egg pudding were pretty straightforward – the contents of the packet is to be mixed into 500 ml of boiling water and stirred for an unspecified time. I just poured in a little more than a small 500 ml mineral water bottle (to compensate for evaporation) into a saucepan and added in the pudding mixture when it started boiling. The mixture was stirred for about a minute or so before I turned off the heat.

creamy blood

Next, comes the interesting part. I took a razor blade and made a small incision on my left hand at a particularly juicy vein and allowed the blood to drip into the Nestle Reduced Fat Cream – the topping for the pudding. This is of course, rather unorthodox (not to mention unsanitary for consumers who are not already exchanging bodily fluids with you ;)) so it’s a highly optional step.

blood harvest

I also took the liberty of scooping up more blood from the gash and managed to harvest about half a tablespoon of the red stuff in total.

topping

The blood is mixed into the cream by folding it with a spoon before adding a bit of Milo Grab N Go (a RTD – Ready To Drink malt concoction) for flavoring. The cream will acquire a tinge of pink before turning a chocolate hue. The cream topping is set aside…

pour mold

…while the pudding mixture is poured into the heart shaped molds and left at room temperature for 15 minutes. Field Song Egg Pudding Powder sets extremely rapidly. It started solidifying after just a minute in the mold. It still requires refrigeration though, so we transferred it to the fridge and left it in there for 30 minutes.

dallop

The egg pudding turned out to be a perfect heart shape! =D It came out easily from the mold due to the high density of the pudding. It just plopped down when the mold was upended. I added several dollops of the patented Bleeding Heart Topping (TM) on top and garnished it with Arnott’s Tim Tams.

  1. Hahahah exchanging bodily fluids…
    suprisingly enough it is tradition in some places, for men to dip walnuts into their semen, before coating the entire thing with chocolate and feeding it to their beloved as a sure-fast way to keep her faithful.
    Out of curiosity…what did you really use for the blood?

  3. HB, It look more like voodoo what you done. In the San Francisco library book on witchcraft tell of comsuming blood of someone is to control that person.

    This entry subject photos show somethings I like very much. In San Francisco do not have many things from Southeast Asia. That cookwares store seem so interesting and I would like the name and address of it please.
    No way in cooking bleeding heart pudding just normal food. You are good in advertising business.

  7. Hey this is some Gothic entry or what. Not sure why but I have to ask where is the place you went for those cookwares? My friends like to contact the store regarding other cookwares. Guess they just like to see cookwares in this entry funny.

  8. Yeah, she ate it. πŸ™‚
    She was there the entire time we were doing it. She’s not a big fan of self-inflicted injuries so she licked my wound after I cut myself – claims saliva is a good disinfectant. *shrugs*
    I will drink her blood too, since we’ve both been tested. I don’t have hangups about bodily fluids. Heh!
    Reply all the comments later. Low batt.

  10. Hey nice one!
    I LOVE blood pudding!
    Just the other day my sushi chef made me a spicy tuna roll with blood dripping from a major sashimi gash. Never tasted so good!

  11. Haha! Love you sarcastic wit, my friend.
    Reply all the comments tomorrow. Will be posting regular posts starting tomorrow 10 am. Lots of posts in queue. Cheers all. I’m in KL now so net access is VERY limited. Can someone borrow me a 3G modem for a week? :p

    Zee bo Bee: Interesting! Which culture does that. I shall google it.
    Seriously, that was my blood. I even have a video but I can’t post it coz I did a similar thing about 2 months ago and my account was suspended. They do not like self-mutilation. Against their TOC.
    janel: Nice?
    Choonie: Over here at sixthseal.com, we BOLDLY go where no man has ever gone before. πŸ˜‰
    Irene: Yeah she did. Finished the thing. πŸ™‚
    Jordan: Yeah, it has to be with someone intimate. I wouldn’t eat someone else’s blood unless it’s my partner’s.
    kelvinsse: Cheers mate! πŸ™‚
    xin: I wouldn’t do that to anyone else. This is a very personal and private thing to be doing. πŸ™‚
    danny: Confirmed. Just passed another blood test to get medical insurance (health coverage). πŸ™‚
    You have to remember that I was a great advocate of safe drug use back then and even won an award for it. No sharing of needles, single needle, single use (even for yourself). πŸ™‚

    It’ll be great. Heh!
    I’m seriously out of shape though…

    Dan: I don’t have that song? Which band or artist sang that?

    vincent: Haha!
    e: Cheers my mate. It means a lot, coming from you. πŸ™‚
    Amy: Eh, it’s not voodoo, just something I did to make her feel happy.
    The cookware shop is a low end hypermarket, it’s nothing special. You’ll get better choices even in Ikea.
    Vennie: I’m not into magic. I don’t believe in magic or miracles. πŸ™‚
    mIKE: Here at sixthseal.com, we ALWAYS aim to please. πŸ˜‰

    Metaphorically means something else entirely.
    Erica: Yeah, I still read his books. Latest ones Blaze, under Richard Bachman and Duma Key. I’ve been reading other books too though – The Kite Runner is one I’m engrossed in right now.
    It’s just a normal shop – a supermarket of sorts. Seriously, they don’t have much stuff there.
    Paul: Goat sacrifice? Perhaps if the clock turns back 14 years and I become 13 again. πŸ˜‰
    Michale (Mike): It’s a small shop in the middle of nowhere. There are better places for these things. I’ll find out.
    Andy: Eh, physical pain always hurts less than psychological pain. πŸ™‚
    KY: Tastes like chicken!
    TOM: Yeah, has to be the right person, right time. πŸ™‚
    Yeah, I did. The award was in 2004 or 2005.
    It tastes pretty good actually, but China (or was it Taiwan) product.
    Darren: Nope, just makes it more special. πŸ™‚
    eiling: Yeah, she ate it. She wanted me to do it, though not to this extent. πŸ˜‰
    It doesn’t taste like blood at all coz of the Milo and cream overpowering the taste of iron.
    Lb: Yeah, just once in a while, I guess. Thanks for the concern. πŸ™‚
    Eve: Guess that describes me in a nutshell. Extreme. πŸ˜‰
    Steve: I’m not into goth, just have a high tolerance for pain and no regards to self-mutilation. πŸ™‚
    Limo: Haha! I love your comment, mate. πŸ™‚
    eugene: Okay, on. Get it from you when I go to KL this weekend. :p
    tze: It was done in KL. It’s a flesh stapling procedure, kinda like subdermal implants since the bar is beneath the skin.
