Ingredients
- 3 ounces strawberry flavored gelatin mix
- 2 /4 ounce packets unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 1/2 cups water divided
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 cup vodka divided
- 1 tick butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- strawberries with the leaves cut off
- Christmas sprinkles optional
Instructions
- On a tray set out your cups, set aside for later. This is also a good time to make sure you have room in your fridge for the tray of jello shots.
- In a large measuring cup with a spout or a mixing bowl with a spout add 1 cup of boiling water and your strawberry jello.
- Whisk until the jello is all dissolved.
- Next add in your ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka. Whisk again.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the cups about a half of the way up. Place the tray in your refrigerator for 30 minutes or until that layer is set.
- Meanwhile make your white jello.
- In a small sauce pan add your unflavored gelatin and one cup of water over medium heat. Stir until the gelatin is all dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and add in the sweetened condensed milk and ½ cup vodka. Set aside to cool a bit.
- Carefully spoon the white mixture into each shot cup on top of the strawberry layer filling the cups almost to the top.
- Place back in the fridge for 30 minutes until all set.
- Meanwhile make the buttercream.
- Using an electric mixer whip the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
- Place the buttercream into a ziploc bag with the edge snipped off.
- Place a strawberry on top of each jello shot.
- Pipe the buttercream around the edges of the strawberry with a dollop on top. Serve and enjoy!
