Provided by Debbie Chapman

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package Raspberry Jello (the regular sized box, not the large box)
3 packages Unflavoured Gelatin
3 cups Boiling Water
125 Flexible Straws
3/4 cup Whipping Cream
15 drops Green Food Colouring
1 Wide Mouth Mason Jar (4 cup size or Round Cylindrical Glass Vase (the dollar store will have something))

Steps:

  • In a large measuring cup, combine the Jello and the unflavoured gelatin.
  • Add the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  • Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or until lukewarm.
  • Stretch each of the straws open to extend the flexible parts and then put the straws into the mason jar with the flexible side closer to the bottom.
  • Add the green food colouring to the whipping cream and stir until combined. (Just stir it, don't whip it).
  • Pour the whipping cream mixture into the Jello mixture and stir until it's well combined.
  • Pour the mixture through the top of the straws until it fills the container. The straws will self level so don't worry about filling each individual straw.
  • Chill for at least 8 hours.
  • Run each straw under hot water for a few seconds.
  • Pinch the straw from the top down to squeeze out each worm.
  • If you are making these in advance, squeeze the worms onto a waxed paper lined baking sheet and store, covered, in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.
  • These can be made up to 2 days in advance.

Time 3h

Yield 40 shots

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 1/4-ounce packet unflavored powdered gelatin
Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups vodka
One 6-ounce box orange-flavored gelatin, just as Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
One 6-ounce box lemon-flavored gelatin, just as Jell-O
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons orange and black Halloween sprinkles

Steps:

  • Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer. Have ready a medium heatproof bowl that can fit over the saucepan without touching the water.
  • Combine the unflavored gelatin with 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl and stir frequently until all the gelatin is moistened and becomes a thick paste, about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place the bowl of bloomed gelatin over the simmering water to gently melt, stirring occasionally, until no lumps remain, about 30 seconds. Remove from the simmering water and stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the condensed milk until smooth. If there are lumps, place the bowl over the simmering water and stir occasionally until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup of the vodka, then pour into the prepared baking dish and refrigerate until just set and sticky when touched, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk the orange-flavored gelatin with 1 cup of the boiling water in another medium heatproof bowl until well dissolved, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup cold water, 1/2 cup of the remaining vodka and 1 tablespoon of the condensed milk until well combined. Skim the bubbles from the surface with a spoon (see Cook's Note for an alternative method). Let cool at room temperature until the white layer in the baking dish is set (see Cook's Note). Pour the orange gelatin mixture over the white layer and refrigerate until just set and sticky when touched, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk the lemon-flavored gelatin with the remaining 1 cup boiling water in a third medium heatproof bowl until well dissolved, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup cold water, the remaining 1/2 cup vodka and 1 tablespoon condensed milk until well combined. Skim the bubbles from the surface with a spoon. Let cool at room temperature until the orange layer in the baking dish is set. Pour the lemon gelatin mixture over the orange layer and refrigerate until firmly set, at least 90 minutes, up to overnight (see Cook's Note).
  • Lightly grease a plastic cutting board or baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Run a thin knife or offset spatula around the outside of the layered gelatin and invert onto the prepared cutting board. Trim the edges for neat corners and cut the gelatin into 40 equal pieces. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Whip the heavy cream and sugar with a handheld mixer or whisk in a large bowl until firm peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Close the top of the bag and refrigerate until ready to serve. Pipe a small star on top of each Jell-O shot and sprinkle with the sprinkles. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality gelatin sheets for best results. Lower-quality gelatin may not set properly.
  • Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding it to the other ingredients. Undissolved gelatin will cause the mixture to be lumpy.
  • Use a variety of cookie cutters to create different shapes of gelatin cutouts.
  • If you are using a food processor to blend the fruit, be sure to do so on low speed to avoid over-processing.
  • Chill the gelatin cutouts for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Conclusion:

Halloween gelatin cutouts are a fun and easy way to celebrate the holiday. They are a great treat for kids and adults alike, and they can be made with a variety of different flavors and colors. With a little creativity, you can create gelatin cutouts that are both festive and delicious.
