Description

Boozy Orange Creamsicle Jello Shots combine nostalgic childhood flavors with adult indulgence. Creamy vodka and orange gelatin create a playful party treat that delights guests with its sweet, spirited twist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package unflavored gelatin
  • 2 scoops orange sherbet, melted
  • 1 cup rum chata
  • 1 cup water (236.6 ml)
  • 1618 plastic shot glasses with lids

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Melt orange sherbet in a spacious mixing bowl, allowing it to soften and reach room temperature, creating a smooth base for the gelatin mixture.
  2. Gelatin Activation: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin across water’s surface, applying gentle heat to dissolve completely without boiling, whisking until a perfectly smooth liquid forms.
  3. Liquid Fusion: Combine the cooled gelatin with softened sherbet and Rum Chata, stirring thoroughly to create a uniform, silky mixture that blends all flavors harmoniously.
  4. Molding and Chilling: Carefully pour the liquid into plastic shot vessels, leaving a small space at the top, then place in the freezer for two hours followed by refrigeration for one additional hour to achieve the ideal texture and consistency.
  5. Presentation: Just before serving, crown each shot with a delicate swirl of whipped cream, transforming the simple gelatin shot into an elegant and inviting dessert experience.

Notes

  • Gentle Gelatin Hydration: Sprinkle gelatin powder evenly across water’s surface to prevent clumping and ensure smooth dissolution.
  • Temperature Control: Cool gelatin mixture for exactly 15 minutes to preserve alcohol content and prevent rapid evaporation.
  • Precise Mixing Technique: Stir sherbet and Rum Chata thoroughly to create a uniform, silky texture without lumps or separation.
  • Freezing Strategy: Partially freeze shots in freezer, then transfer to refrigerator to achieve perfect shot consistency and prevent over-hardening.
