How to Make valentine’s day jello shooters

1. In a large mixing bowl, pour the entire box of red gelatin mix. Use a whisk to ensure there are no clumps in the powder.
2. Carefully measure 1 cup of boiling water using a liquid measuring cup. Slowly pour the boiling water into the mixing bowl with the gelatin mix, whisking continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
3. Measure 1 cup of cold water using the same liquid measuring cup. Add the cold water to the mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
4. Pour the gelatin mixture into a glass baking dish or silicone mold. Use a silicone spatula to scrape any remaining mixture from the bowl.
5. Cover the dish or mold with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the gelatin to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.
6. Once set, use a chef’s knife to cut the gelatin into squares or desired shapes. Serve with whipped cream and sprinkles, desired, using a small spoon for garnishing.

Expert Tips

1. Use a silicone mold for easy removal and clean-up.
2. For a smoother texture, strain the gelatin mixture through a fine mesh sieve before pouring it into the mold.
3. Add a splash of flavored vodka or champagne for an adult twist.
4. Let the gelatin set overnight for the best results.
