Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package unflavored gelatin
- 2 scoops orange sherbet, melted
- 1 cup rum chata
- 1 cup water (236.6 ml)
- 16–18 plastic shot glasses with lids
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
