Double Rainbow Cake Jelly Shot Food

RAINBOW JELL-O SHOT CUPS

Steps:

• For the panna cotta: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let stand until absorbed, about 3 minutes. Place the saucepan over low heat until the gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute. When the gelatin is liquid, whisk in the half-and-half and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the mixture is hot and just steaming, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and remove from the heat to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Place each color of gelatin in its own medium microwave-safe bowl or 4-cup liquid measuring cup. Add 1 teaspoon of the unflavored gelatin to each; whisk until combined. Pour 1 cup of the boiling water into each container and stir well to dissolve the gelatin. Add 1/4 cup of the vodka to each container. Stir to combine.
• Set an empty 18-count egg carton on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place eight 5-ounce dessert glasses at an angle in the cavities, spacing them apart. Make room in the refrigerator to accommodate the baking sheet.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of the liquid panna cotta in each glass. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Next, pour in about a 1/4-inch layer of the grape gelatin. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Repeat pouring and chilling 1/4-inch layers of the panna cotta, blue raspberry gelatin, more panna cotta, lime gelatin, then panna cotta again, refrigerating each layer for 15 minutes before adding the next. If the colored gelatins begin to set before pouring, microwave each container for 30 seconds and stir well to bring it back to a liquid state.
• Place the dessert glasses upright directly on the baking sheet. The chilled diagonal layers will stay in place. Pour and chill 1/4-inch layers of the lemon, orange, and strawberry gelatin, alternating each color with the panna cotta and finishing with the strawberry gelatin on top. Refrigerate until well set, about 2 hours. Serve well chilled.

DOUBLE RAINBOW CAKE JELLY SHOT RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Pour lemonade into a small saucepan, and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in the vodka and sweetened condensed milk. Pour 1/2 cup portions into 6 bowls. Use liquid food color for rainbow colors (in this case: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet). For a very vibrant rainbow, use 4 drops of liquid food coloring for the red, yellow, green and blue colors. To get orange, use 3 drops red and 1 drop yellow. To get violet, use 2 drops red and 2 drops blue.) Prepare the mini muffin pans by spraying lightly with cooking spray and then wiping clean with a paper towel. (This will leave a slight residue, which will assist in unmolding without affecting the taste or appearance of the jelly shots.) Spoon 3/4 teaspoon of the red gelatin mixture into the muffin pan cavities. Refrigerate until set, but still sticky when touched. (The first layer will take 10 minutes or so, subsequent layers less, about 5 minutes each.) Repeat with remaining colors. Refrigerate overnight to allow the layers to fully bond. To serve, loosen around the edges of each muffin cavity and pop out the jelly shots. Immediately before serving, garnish with a small dollop of frosting and sprinkles. Can't find a silicone pan? Wax-lined paper cups also work for this recipe. Just refrigerate until firm and when ready to eat, loosen by gently squeezing the cup, then simply peel away the paper cup.
