    Ingredients

    • 1 cup brewed dark roast coffee or espresso
    • 2 1/2 envelopes plain gelatin (or 3 if jelly shots will be sitting out for an extended period)
    • 1/3 cup espresso flavored vodka
    • 1/3 cup vanilla flavored vodka
    • 1/3 cup coffee flavored liqueur
    • 1 tsp agave nectar or simple syrup (if desired)
    • 1 tbsp Irish Crème liqueur (if desired - you can use up to 2 tbsp if you prefer)

    Directions

    1. 1Implements – pyramid flexible silicon mold * Prepare a flexible silicon pyramid mold (we used a 15 cavity mold with .68 oz cavities) by spraying lightly with cooking spray, or wiping each mold cavity with a little vegetable oil. Follow by wiping each mold cavity with a clean paper towel. This method will leave the slightest reside which will aid in un-molding the gelatin without affecting the taste or appearance of your gelatin. Place the mold on a stable, movable flat surface, such as a cookie sheet or cooling rack (make sure the pan or rack fits into your refrigerator).
    2. 2our coffee/espresso into small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin and allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat, and add the vodkas and Kahlua, stirring well to combine. Taste and add agave nectar/simple syrup if desired.
    3. 3If making dual-layer jelly shots, divide the jelly shot mixture equally into two bowls. Add 1-2 tbsp Baileys to one of the bowls. Spoon a teaspoon of the Baileys mixture into 4 of the mold cavities, then spoon a teaspoon of the espresso jelly shot mixture into 4 additional cavities. Refrigerate until set, about 3 minutes, inverting the mold on one end to create an angled layer.
    4. 4When set, remove from refrigerator and fill with the alternate jelly shot mixture. You will have 7 mold cavities remaining, fill these with the remaining espresso and the Bailey’s mixtures.
    5. 5Refrigerate until fully set, several hours or overnight. To serve, unmold.

    I made a trial run of these last night for a party this weekend. They turned out great! I used a little more Bailey's and simple syrup than what it called for because I used very strong espresso for the base. They are strong and delicious, just like an espresso martini should be. Just be cautioned that these jelly shots are not for the faint of heart!
