Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 13

JELLO SHOT CUPCAKES:
1 package white cake mix
1 cup boiling water
1 (3-ounce) package Jello Gelatin, any red flavor (I used strawberry)
1 cup Malibu coconut rum
WHIPPED CREAM:
3 cups whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
BROKEN GLASS JELLO GARNISH:
4 small boxes (3-ounces each) Jell-O (I used strawberry, blackberry, lime, lemon)
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin

Steps:

  • CUPCAKES: Prepare cake batter and bake as directed per box for cupcakes. Fill cupcake liners about 1/2 to 2/3 full and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and poke holes in the cupcakes with a fork or toothpick. In a separate bowl, stir boiling water into jello powder until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add rum. Spoon over cupcakes. (Don't be shy with the jello. Be generous! 2, 3 to 4 spoonfuls!) Let cool before frosting with whipped cream. WHIPPED CREAM: Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk together on low until stiff peaks are formed. Change to medium speed and whisk until thick. GARNISH: Make jello per package instructions for each flavor. After chilling for 4 hours (or overnight), cut them into small blocks. Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13-inch pan. In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms (thickens), add 1 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add condensed milk. Stir and cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight. Cut into blocks and garnish on top of cupcakes.

2/3 cup cream soda
2/3 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 envelopes plain gelatin*
2/3 cup cake-flavored vodka
Few drops food coloring, if desired
Whipped cream - fresh or store-bought
Sprinkles or Jimmies for garnish

Steps:

  • Lightly spray the mold with non-stick spray and wipe excess off with a paper towel. Don't over spray it or the residue will affect the taste of the jello. Pour the soda, juice, and cream into a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Allow the gelatin to soak for 2-3 minutes, then begin to heat on low, stirring constantly until gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove saucepan from heat and add vodka and food coloring. Pour into molds and chill for several hours, or until set. Remove from mold, top with whipped cream Note: Could easily make these mock-tails by omitting the alcohol.
