Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 scoops orange sherbet (melted)
  • 1 cup rum chata
  • 1 cup water (237 ml)
  • 1 package unflavored gelatin
  • 1618 plastic shot glasses

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Allow orange sherbet to liquefy at room temperature, creating a smooth, pourable base for the jello shots.
  2. Gelatin Activation: Sprinkle gelatin over cool water, letting it bloom for two minutes. Gently heat until fully dissolved, then cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Mixture Fusion: Blend Rum Chata with melted sherbet, incorporating the cooled gelatin until achieving a uniform, creamy consistency.
  4. Portioning: Carefully distribute the mixture into shot glasses, ensuring even filling and minimal spillage.
  5. Chilling Process: Freeze for two hours to set, then transfer to refrigerator for an additional hour to perfect texture and consistency.
  6. Finishing Touch: Top each shot with a dollop of whipped cream just before serving, creating a classic creamsicle-inspired treat.

Notes

  • Thaw Sherbet Strategically: Let orange sherbet melt naturally at room temperature without aggressive stirring, ensuring a smooth liquid consistency.
  • Bloom Gelatin Precisely: Sprinkle gelatin over cool water, wait exactly two minutes, then heat until fully dissolved to create a perfect binding agent.
  • Blend Liquids Smoothly: Whisk Rum Chata into melted sherbet gently, then incorporate cooled gelatin with careful, uniform stirring to prevent lumps.
  • Chill with Patience: Freeze shots for two hours, then refrigerate for one additional hour to develop ideal texture and creamy jiggle, guaranteeing perfect consistency.
