These Quick Boozy Orange Cream Jello Shots taste just like Creamsicles from the ice cream truck, with a grown-up kick. They come together in under 20 minutes of active work and feature a beautiful two-layer presentation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3 oz) orange Jell-O gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold vodka
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 packet (1/4 oz) unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water (for blooming gelatin)
  • 1/4 cup boiling water (for dissolving gelatin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Orange Layer: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and stir in the orange Jell-O powder. Whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold vodka and 1/2 cup cold water, then whisk again.
  2. Fill the Shot Cups: Place shot cups on a baking sheet. Pour the orange mixture into each cup, filling them about halfway. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
  3. Bloom the Unflavored Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
  4. Make the Cream Layer: In a clean saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup boiling water. Whisk until smooth. Add bloomed gelatin and whisk over low heat for 2-3 minutes until dissolved. Do not boil. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the Cream Layer: Remove baking sheet from fridge. Pour cream mixture over the set orange layer, filling each cup almost to the top. Tap gently to release air bubbles. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Serve: Once fully set, serve in cups or unmold from silicone molds. Keep chilled until serving.

Notes

Don’t rush the layers—let the orange layer set fully before adding the cream. The cream mixture should be warm, not hot, to avoid melting the bottom layer. For best results, make the night before and refrigerate overnight.
