I made this for Halloween dinner as a sort of "slice and serve" meal, instead of as a dip as the recipe intended. I'm not sure how it would actually work as a dip.
There doesn't seem to be a written version of this recipe anywhere. It was originally part of a show break during an episode of Halloween Baking Championship and has been on the Food Network's YouTube channel since 2014. I've been eyeing it for a while, but the stars finally aligned for me to have all of the ingredients at the same time.
Ingredients:
whole avocado
cream cheese
prepared sushi rice
smoked salmon
roe
1. Halve avocado and peel the avocado. Remove pit.
2. Press cream cheese into pit cavity.
3. Press halves back together.
4. Put avocado on plate. Pack cooked sushi rice around avocado and keep doing so until you have built a brain shape.
5. Make indentations along the center of rice brain.
6. Separate slices of smoked salmon.
7. Roll into irregular pattern and place on rice brain.
8. Repeat until completely covered.
9. Press together with plastic wrap.
10. Spoon red tobiko (roe) into indentation to simulate blood. (I did not do this step.)
This was a big hit. I wish I'd had some nori on hand to have with it.
