Notes

  • This recipe yields make 8 (2-ounce) jello shots or 16 (1-ounce) jello shots - so plan accordingly.
  • Make sure the jello is cool before you add in the whipped cream.
  • Add the whipped cream right before serving, otherwise, you will end up with melted whipped cream everywhere.
  • You can dip each shot glass rim in red sanding sugar for extra color.
  • If transferring the Jello mix into a bowl, you can use a ladle to fill the shot glasses.
  • Cover shot glasses either with plastic wrap or their lids if they come with some.
  • Please note that vanilla vodka also adds sweetness to this recipe. If you use plain vodka, dissolve about a quarter cup of granulated sugar along with the gelatin in the second step of the recipe.
  • It is easy to use the baking sheet to transfer them into and out of the refrigerator.
  • There are 3 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
  • Reminder: these boozy Grinch Jello Shots are quite tasty, so make sure to imbibe responsibly and be mindful of your consumption.
