Ingredients

1 3 ounce box Orange Jello
1 cup (237ml) Boiling Water
½ cup (118ml) Cold Water
½ cup (118ml) Whipped Cream Vodka
Whipped Cream
Orange Sanding Sugar or Orange Sprinkles optional

Instructions

Add the jello and boiling water to a medium mixing bowl and stir until the jello has dissolved.
Add the cold water and vodka, stir again.
Line your cups up on a baking sheet or another moveable, flat surface, without the lids.
Using the injector or pourable measuring cup, fill each container about ¾ of the way full.
Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until the jello has set.
Place the whipped cream in a frosting bag fitted with a frosting tip and pipe some cute swirls on top of the jello shots.
If desired, you can grab some orange sanding sugar or orange sprinkles and throw those on the top as well. Enjoy!

Notes

Do not add the whipped cream or sprinkles (if you’re using them) until you’re ready to serve the jello shots. The whipped cream gets a strange texture and thickness when left in the fridge, on top of the shots for too long.
If you want to go even creamier with your jello shots, add ½ a cup of whipped cream to the jello and whisk lightly until dissolved. Do this during the hot water stage, after the jello has dissolved.
I don’t tend to use the sprinkles or sanding sugar with these super often. I like them better without, but it’s a preference. I think they look adorable with them added though!
These can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Just be sure to store them with their lids on. They do their best if they are served within a week of being made though. Do not freeze.
Be careful going over half a cup of alcohol. It can cause the jello to not thicken.
Want to make these virgin for the kiddos? Replace the vodka with cold water. You can also use the tip about adding whipped cream directly to the jello mixture.
