How to Prepare Valentine’s Day Jello Shots

Creating the Pink Layer:

  1. Begin by blending the watermelon Jell-O with boiling water in a small mixing bowl. Stir rigorously for about two minutes to ensure the gelatin dissolves completely.
  2. Add white coconut rum to the mixture, integrating it thoroughly.
  3. Carefully pour this mixture halfway into each shot glass.
  4. Chill these in the refrigerator, allowing them to solidify for approximately 60 minutes.

Crafting the Red Layer:

  1. In a separate bowl, combine boiling water with strawberry-banana Jell-O, stirring diligently for up to two minutes to dissolve the gelatin entirely.
  2. Mix in white coconut rum to this blend.
  3. Gently add this mixture to the set pink layer in the shot glasses, filling them to the top.
  4. Refrigerate again, this time for 60 to 90 minutes, until they are firmly set.

Adding the Final Touches:

  1. Once set, embellish the jello shots with a dollop of whipped cream.
  2. Sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles over the top for a festive and romantic finish.

Ready to Serve:
