St. Patrick's Day Jello Shots
Description
This recipe involves preparing two gelatin mixtures. The first green layer combines lime or green apple gelatin powder, unflavored gelatin dissolved in boiling water, and chilled vanilla-flavored vodka, which is poured into shot glasses and chilled until set.
The second white layer is made separately by dissolving two packets of unflavored gelatin in boiling water, then mixing in sweetened condensed milk and chilled vodka. Part of this mixture is chilled for later use, while the remainder is poured over the set green layer, filling the glasses two-thirds full.
Once completely refrigerated and set, the jello shots are topped with whipped cream and festive sprinkles for presentation. The layering creates a smooth, creamy texture contrasted with the vibrant colored gelatin, fitting celebratory occasions.
Ingredients
- 3 unflavored gelatin divided, packets
- 2 cups water divided
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk only comes in 14 oz size, so 1/2 of a can
- 1 cup vodka divided and chilled, vanilla flavored
- 3 oz lime gelatin or green apple gelatin, box
- 2-3 Gel food coloring orange, drops
- Whipped Cream for garnish
- Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of water. Let it come up to a boil and then remove from heat.
- Add 1 packet of unflavored gelatin to the boiling water. Whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Add the green jello mix into the saucepan and whisk until dissolved.
- Add 1/3 cup chilled vodka and stir well.
- Pour the green mixture into the bottom third of each shot glass. Chill for 1 hour or until the gelatin has "set."
- Wash the small saucean out for the second layer.
- Bring 1 cup water up to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat.
- Add the 2 remaining packets of unflavored gelatin into the boiling water. Stir vigorously until dissolved.
- Add in the sweetened condensed milk and 2/3 cup of chilled vodka. Mix will to incorporate.
- Pour half of the white gelatin mixture into a microwave safe bowl, cover and chill for later use.
- For the second layer, pour the remaining white gelatin mixture into each shot glass, filling it 2/3 of the way. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the gelatin to "set."
- When the second layer is set, remove the remaining white gelatin from the refrigerator. It will be set like jello, so you will need to microwave and stir it in 20 second increments until completely melted and smooth.
- Add 2-3 drops of orange food coloring and stir until the food color is thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour the orange gelatin on top of second layer, filling up to the top of each glass. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkles. This is totally optional. I love the shots without out.
