Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixture
- 8 ounces Pink Starburst Jello
- 1 1/2 cups hot boiling water
- 1 cup whipped cream flavored vodka
Garnish
- 1 package of Starburst minis – pinks
Instructions
- Boil Water: Begin by adding 1 1/2 cups of water to a pan and bringing it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Dissolve Jello: Slowly sprinkle the pink Starburst jello powder into the boiling water while stirring continuously until fully dissolved. Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for a few minutes.
- Add Vodka: Stir in 1 cup of whipped cream flavored vodka into the slightly cooled jello mixture. Let the combined mixture rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to cool further before pouring.
- Fill Cups: Using a ladle, pour the jello mixture evenly into small individual cups placed on a tray. This will make it easier to transfer to the fridge without spilling.
- Chill and Set: Place the tray with jello cups into the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 to 4 hours, or until the jello has fully set.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the jello shots are firm, sprinkle the pink Starburst mini candies on top of each cup for a fun and flavorful garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly!
Notes
- Ensure the jello mixture is cooled sufficiently before adding vodka to prevent evaporation of the alcohol.
- Use small disposable cups or shot glasses for easy serving and cleanup.
- For a stronger alcoholic kick, adjust the vodka quantity carefully, keeping the jello’s setting ability in mind.
- Refrigerate the jello shots for a minimum of 2 hours, longer if possible, to ensure they are fully set.
- These jello shots are best consumed within 24-48 hours for optimal freshness.
