Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups hot water divided
- 2 (3 oz) boxes berry blue jello or any blue colored jello
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- .25 ounces unflavored gelatin
- ½ cup original coconut water
- 8 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp coconut extract optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 30 sour shark gummies
- beach sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a large baking tray with the two ounce cups.
- Boil two cups of water. Pour water into a heat safe bowl. Add the blue jello powder and stir it into the water until it is fully dissolved.
- Mix in two cups of pineapple juice. Stir again for about two more minutes or until the pineapple juice is completely mixed in with the jello.
- Pour the jello mixture into each of the small cups and fill each one about 2/3 of the way full.
- Put the baking sheet of jello cups into the refrigerator and chill for one and a half hours.
- Bring 1/2 cup water to boil and add it to a heat safe bowl. Pour the unflavored gelatin into the hot water and stir until dissolved.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of coconut water, the sweetened condensed milk, and the coconut extract and vanilla extract if using. Stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the large liquid measuring cup and use the measuring cups to fill the cups up the rest of the way with the white jello mixture.
- Put the baking sheet of jello cups back into the fridge and chill for another one and a half hours or until the jello has fully set.
- Once the two jello layers are completely chilled and you're ready to serve these jello cups, top each with graham cracker crumbs, a gummy shark, and ocean themed sprinkles. Then serve immediately!

Notes
- Leave out the extracts if you are wanting to save costs and don’t have them on hand.
- Prep the first two layers then leave the rest for people to decorate on their own as a fun party activity.
- Wait to decorate until you are ready to serve; adding the crumbs too early will make them mushy as they absorb the liquid from the Jello.
- Store in the fridge for up to five days, no need to use an airtight container but covering the tops will keep them fresher long
- Ingredient Notes:
- Jello - any blue jello works, I prefer berry blue.
- Pineapple juice - this can be replaced with another yellow or orange juice like lemonade, mango juice, or something similar.
- Extracts - these are great to enhance the flavor but can be skipped in desired.
- Coconut water - any brands work as long as it has no pulp.
- Graham cracker crumbs - these can be replaced with crushed Vanilla Wafers or Golden Oreos as well.
