Ingredients
Scale
Apple Pie Jello Shots
- 2 cups apple cider (not apple cider vinegar)
- 2 envelopes (0.25 ounces each) unflavored gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups apple whiskey, chilled
For Serving (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Gelatin Mixture: In a medium saucepan, pour in 2 cups of apple cider. Sprinkle the 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface of the cider and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. This allows the gelatin to absorb the liquid and dissolve more easily.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Warm the bloomed gelatin and cider mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Avoid boiling to preserve the cider’s fresh flavor.
- Combine with Apple Whiskey: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chilled 1 1/2 cups of apple whiskey. Mix well to fully combine the flavors.
- Pour into Molds: Quickly pour the mixture into silicone molds or a shallow baking dish if cutting into squares later, filling each cavity or section evenly.
- Chill to Set: Place the filled molds or dish in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the jello shots are firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once set, remove the jello shots from their molds and serve chilled. Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra festive flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use chilled apple whiskey to ensure a better set and flavor balance in the jello shots.
- Do not boil the gelatin mixture; heating gently is key to proper gelatin activation without losing alcohol content.
- If you don’t have mold trays, use any small cups or a shallow dish and cut into squares once set.
- Store leftover jello shots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the amount of whiskey if you prefer a stronger or lighter alcohol flavor, but too much will prevent the gelatin from setting.
