Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 ½ cups apple whiskey
- 2 envelopes (0.25 ounces each) unflavored gelatin
Garnish and Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Arrange plastic jello shot cups on a sturdy baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and stable.
- Heat apple cider in a small saucepan until it reaches a rolling boil, creating a fragrant base for the shots.
- Gently sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the hot cider, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and ensure complete dissolution.
- Allow the gelatin-cider mixture to cool and slightly thicken for approximately 15 minutes, creating a smooth consistency.
- Incorporate chilled apple whiskey into the cooled mixture, stirring thoroughly to blend the flavors evenly.
- Carefully pour the liquid into each plastic cup, maintaining a steady hand to prevent spillage and fill to just below the rim.
- Carefully transfer the sheet pan to the refrigerator, positioning it on a level surface to ensure even setting.
- Chill the jello shots for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they achieve a firm, wobbly texture.
- Once fully set, secure lids on the cups to preserve freshness and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
- For a delightful presentation, top each shot with a delicate swirl of whipped cream and a light dusting of ground cinnamon just before serving.
Notes
- Chill these shots for a minimum of 4 hours to ensure perfect gelatin setting and optimal texture.
- Use high-quality apple whiskey for a rich, authentic flavor that elevates the entire dessert experience.
- Prepare the shots in advance, as they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before serving.
- Carefully measure gelatin to prevent rubbery or overly firm consistency that might affect the shot’s smoothness.
- Add whipped cream and cinnamon garnish just before serving to maintain maximum freshness and visual appeal.
- Choose small plastic cups with lids for easy storage and convenient transportation to parties or gatherings.
