STRAWBERRY SHOOTERS

Steps:

• Pour amaretto liqueur into each strawberry and top with whipped cream.

CHAMPAGNE AND STRAWBERRY SHOTS

Steps:

• Put the ginger ale in a saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the top and let it absorb the liquid for 2 minutes. Bring the ginger ale just to a boil and whisk until gelatin is fully dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar until dissolved.
• Transfer the gelatin to a large bowl and stir in the champagne. Refrigerate until cooled and thickened slightly (almost to the consistency of a gel but still runny-you can check a few times to see), 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice off the bottom tip of each strawberry so there is a flat edge for it to stand upright; be careful to not cut off so much that there is a hole at the bottom once the strawberry is cored.
• Use a strawberry huller or small melon baller to core out the strawberry, again, making sure you don't dig so deep that you create a hole in the bottom.
• Spoon the champagne mixture into the strawberries and stand them in a baking dish. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CHEESECAKE SHOOTERS

Steps:

• For the cheesecake:
• Beat PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl until smooth, then beat in gelatin mix, lemon zest, and lemon extract. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set up (I left mine overnight).
• For the strawberry topping:
• Combine all ingredients in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes. Let cool and store in fridge until ready to use. *Mixture will thicken upon cooling.
• For the graham cracker crust:
• Whisk graham cracker crumbs and sugar together, then drizzle in melted butter and combine until mixture is uniform.
• To assemble cheesecake shooters:
• Add 1 Tbsp or so of graham cracker crust to the bottom of a small glass or shot glass. Top with 2 Tbsp cheesecake mixture, then 1 Tbsp of strawberry topping. Serve immediately. Images do not match method of preparation. Looks like two layers.
• Note: For a more traditional looking cheesecake, press the entirety of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Fill with cheesecake mixture, then top with strawberry topping. Place in fridge to set up for four hours before serving.
