It's literally a fruit cocktail! Miniature gelatin fruit bowls spiked with vodka.

More About This Recipe

  • These adorable jelly shots aren't served in glasses, but in mini edible jelly shot bowls! As a kid, my mom used to make a special fruit salad we would have at holidays or special occasions. It was basically a combo of fruit and homemade whipped cream. No wonder my sister and I would always ask for seconds! That fruit salad provided the inspiration for these miniature fruity vanilla jelly shots ... they are *literally* a fruit cocktail! All the flavors of a fruit cocktail in an actual fruit cocktail. Bottoms up!

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup vanilla or whipped cream vodka
  • 7 oz sweetened condensed milk (1/2 can)
  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup pineapple vodka
  • Food coloring
  • Canned pineapple, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying with nonstick cooking spray and gently wiping out with a paper towel. This will leave just enough residue to help dislodge the shots later. Prepare three small pans for the colored gelatin in the same manner.
  • Step 
    2
    Pour water into a small saucepan and sprinkle with two envelopes of unflavored gelatin. Allow gelatin to soak in a minute or two. Heat on medium and stir until gelatin has dissolved. Remove from heat and pour in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla or whipped cream vodka.
  • Step 
    3
    Transfer to something with a pour spout (such as a measuring cup) and fill cavities of mini muffin pan with the white gelatin mixture. Place in refrigerators for four hours or overnight to allow gelatin to set properly.
  • Step 
    4
    To make the colored gelatin, place pineapple juice in a small saucepan and sprinkle with remaining two envelopes of unflavored gelatin. Allow it to soak in a minute or two. Heat on medium, stirring until gelatin has dissolved. Remove from heat and pour in the pineapple vodka.
  • Step 
    5
    Separate the mixture evenly into the three small prepared pans. Using food coloring, dye each pan to desired colors. (Photo shows red, green and purple/blue.) Allow to set in refrigerator at least two hours or overnight.
  • Step 
    6
    When ready to serve, gently pop the bowls out of the muffin pan and scoop the bowl out with a melon baller. Slice colored gelatin into small squares and fill your bowls, topping with pieces of chopped pineapple as a garnish.
