Ingredients

Blue Layer (Bottom):

·      1 box of blue Jell-O (e.g., berry blue)

·      1 cup boiling water

·      1 cup cold water

White Layer (Middle):

·      2 packets of unflavored gelatin

·      ½ cup cold water (for blooming the gelatin)

·      1 cup boiling water

·      1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Red Layer (Top):

·      1 box of red Jell-O (e.g., cherry or strawberry)

·      1 cup boiling water

·      1 cup cold water

For Garnish:

·      Whipped cream

·      Red, white, and blue sprinkles

Instructions

·      Blue Layer (Bottom): Dissolve the blue Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water.

·      Mix in 1 cup cold water.

·      Pour the mixture into your 1 oz shot glasses, filling up to one-third of the way. Place in the refrigerator to set, about 2-3 hours.

·      White Layer (Middle): Sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup of cold water. Let it sit for a few minutes to “bloom.”

·      Add 1 cup boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

·      Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well mixed. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

·      Once the blue layer is set, gently pour the white gelatin mixture over it to fill another third of the glasses. Return to the refrigerator and let set for another 2-3 hours.

·      Red Layer (Top): Dissolve the red Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water.

·      Mix in 1 cup cold water.

·      Once the white layer is set, carefully add the red layer on top, filling up to the top of the glasses. Refrigerate until set, about 2-3 hours or overnight for best results.

·      Garnish: Just before serving, top each Jell-O shot with a small dollop of whipped cream.

·      Sprinkle red, white, and blue sprinkles over the whipped cream for a festive finish.
