Birthday Cupcake Jello Shot

PSU Lioness's Note:

Now you can have your cake..and take it as a shot, too! This is a tasty little shot that looks just like a little cake tart after it sets and turns into a cute little birthday cupcake shot after it is topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. Cook time includes 4 hour chill time.

• Total Time: 4 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 30

• 2/3 cup cream soda
• 2/3 cup cranberry juice cocktail
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes plain gelatin
• 2/3 cup cake-flavored vodka (Pinnacle and Three Olives both make it)
• 3 drops blue food coloring, if desired
• whipped cream, for garnish
• candy sprinkles (to garnish)

Directions:

1. Lightly spray the mold with non-stick spray and wipe excess off with a paper towel. Don't overdo it or the residue will affect the taste of the jello.
2. Pour the soda, juice, and cream into a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin on top.
3. 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).
4. Remove saucepan from heat and add vodka and food coloring (if using).
5. Pour into molds and chill for several hours (at least 4) or overnight, until set. Amazon sells a silicone 30-cavity peanut butter cup mold that works well for this.
6. Remove from mold, top with whipped cream and sprinkles, and enjoy responsibly!
