We’re Celebrating Halloween Early With New Disney Recipes!

It might only be May, but we’re already looking forward to Halloween, the spookiest time of the year!

Maybe that’s because Disney announced its After Hours Boo Bash that will replace Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year. But it’s also because we are officially halfway TO Halloween!

And in celebration of us being halfway to Halloween, Disney has shared some new recipes to scare up a good time, even in May. These new recipes come courtesy of the soon-to-be-released Disney Villains: Devilishly Delicious Cookbook and take their inspiration from Disney’s villains!

Underworld Smoothies

This recipe takes inspiration from Hades and his two moods: calm and angry!  When he’s calm, his hair is red. But when he’s angry, it turns blue!

Ingredients for the Calm Blue Smoothie

• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup frozen blackberries
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup grape, blueberry, or blackberry juice
• 1 cup ice

Ingredients for the Angry Red Smoothie

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup strawberry, cranberry, or beet juice
• 1 cup ice

Directions

1. Combine all the ingredients for the blue smoothie in a blender, and blend until combined. Pour into a measuring cup with a pouring lip and set aside.
2. Combine all the ingredients for the red smoothie in a blender, and blend until combined.
3. Holding a vessel in each hand, pour half the two smoothies into a drinking  glass at the same time, then repeat with a second glass. Enjoy cold.

Deviled Dragon Eggs

Maleficent inspires this next recipe that uses red cabbage water to make these eggs look VERY unique.

Ingredients

• 8 cups shredded red cabbage
• 12 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Place 4 cups of the shredded cabbage in a medium saucepan. Cover the  cabbage so it’s totally submerged in water with at least 1 inch of water above it. Boil over medium-high heat until tender and the water is deep purple, 20 to 30 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked shredded cabbage and  discard, leaving the water in the pan.
2. While the cabbage is cooking, prepare the eggs. Place the eggs in a separate  medium saucepan and cover with water by at least 1 inch. Over medium-high  heat, bring the water to a full boil. As soon as the water is boiling, remove the  pan from the heat and cover. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes,  then remove to an ice bath to chill for 1 minute.
3. Lightly crack the egg shells by rolling them on a kitchen towel on the counter.  You want there to be fine cracks, but for the shell to still adhere. The finer the  cracks, the better the result will be, so be careful.
4. Place the eggs in a storage container with a lid. Pour the cabbage water over  the eggs, cover, and chill for at least 12 hours or overnight.
5. Remove the eggs from the water, then peel the shells. The result should be  beautiful purple marbling of the egg whites. Cut each egg in half lengthwise.  Scoop out the yolk into a medium mixing bowl, and place the whites on a  platter.
6. In the bowl with the yolks, add the olive oil, mayonnaise, mustard, dill, salt, and  pepper. Stir to combine, then divide evenly between the cups of the egg  whites.
7. Top eggs with a sprinkle of dill and serve eggs over nests made with the  remaining raw cabbage. Chill before serving.
