Description

A vibrant and fun recipe for Pool Party Jello Shots featuring blue raspberry jello mixed with UV Blue Vodka, topped with Malibu-soaked gummy bears and cool whip. Perfect for summer parties and gatherings, these jello shots are both colorful and tasty with a playful gummy candy garnish.


Ingredients

Scale

Jello Mixture

  • 1 (3.5 oz) blue raspberry jello mix
  • 1 cup UV Blue Vodka
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup Malibu Rum

Toppings

  • 15 gummy rings (blue and white)
  • 15 red gummy bears
  • 15 blue gummy bears
  • 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip


Instructions

  1. Prepare Containers: Line 15 sauce containers onto a large cookie sheet to stabilize them for filling.
  2. Dissolve Jello Powder: In a large bowl, whisk the boiling water into the blue raspberry jello mix for about 5 minutes or until the powder is fully dissolved. Then whisk in the UV Blue Vodka until evenly combined.
  3. Chill Jello: Evenly pour the jello mixture into the prepared sauce containers. Place the containers in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until the jello is fully set.
  4. Soak Gummies: While the jello sets, place the red and blue gummy bears in a small bowl and pour the Malibu rum over them. Allow them to soak overnight to absorb the rum flavor.
  5. Remove Gummies: After soaking, remove the gummy bears from the rum and place them on a napkin to drain any excess liquid.
  6. Prepare Cool Whip: Scoop the cool whip into a piping bag for easy application on the jello shots.
  7. Decorate Jello Shots: Pipe two lines of dollops of cool whip onto the top surface of each set jello shot.
  8. Add Gummies: Place a gummy ring on top of each cool whip decoration, then insert a soaked gummy bear inside each ring as a fun and flavorful garnish.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Your pool party jello shots are now ready to be served and enjoyed immediately or kept chilled until party time.

Notes

  • Use fresh boiling water for dissolving the jello powder to ensure proper setting.
  • Allow gummy bears to soak for at least overnight to maximize rum infusion.
  • Use a piping bag or plastic zip bag with the corner cut off to pipe cool whip neatly.
  • Keep jello shots refrigerated until serving for best texture and flavor.
  • Each jello shot contains alcohol; consume responsibly.
