Appetizers and Snacks Recipe ⊶ Special Day Crab Mold

I bring this crab mold every Christmas and it doesn't last long. I have served it with saltine crackers and cocktail rye bread, but you can use whatever you'd like.

Ready in:4h 20m
Serving:16 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Process celery, green onions, and crab in a food processor until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl; let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
  2. Bring chicken soup to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir gelatin mixture into soup, dissolving completely. Remove from heat and cool until slightly warm. Stir cream cheese and mayonnaise into soup mixture until smooth; stir Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce into soup mixture.
  3. Pour soup mixture into food processor with crab mixture and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a 5-cup mold. Chill in refrigerator until set, about 4 hours.
I use a 5-cup mold that has separate lids for each major holiday. For Christmas it is a tree, so I lightly spray the lid with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle it with paprika before I pour the mixture into the mold. Then when I remove the mold it has a red tree on the top of it.
