I have shown you some adult patriotic jello shots here, but nothing kid friendly. Let's face it, when kids see adults with something they want it too. That is why whenever I make adult jello shots, I make something jello-ish that kids can enjoy too.
Recipe
Blue Layer
2 4 serving boxes of berry blue flavored Jello (I used Berry Blue)
1 envelope Knox gelatin (you get 4 envelopes in a 1oz. Knox gelatin box)
2 cups boiling water
Prepare a 9"x 13" glass dish by lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
Mix blue jello, Knox gelatin, and boiling water, until powders dissolve. Pour the mixture into the 9"x13" dish. Place the dish into the refrigerator until gelatin is set (approximately 25 minutes). It is ok if the gelatin is slightly sticky to the touch.
White Layer
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes Knox gelatin (you get 4 envelopes in a 1oz. Knox gelatin box)
3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup hot water
Mix gelatine, and 3/4 cup boiling water, until powder dissolves. Stir cold water into the mixture.
In a separate bowl mix sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup hot water. Pour the milk mixture into gelatin mixture, and mix to combine.
Slowly pour the milk mixture on top of the set blue layer. Return the dish to the refrigerator until gelatin is set (approximately 25 minutes). It is ok if the gelatin is slightly sticky to the touch.
Red Layer
2 4 serving boxes of red jello (I used cherry)
1 envelope Knox gelatin (you get 4 envelopes in a 1oz. Knox gelatin box)
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cold water
Mix red jello, Knox gelatin, and boiling water, until powders dissolve. Stir the cold water into the red mixture. Slowly pour the red mixture on top of the set white layer. Return the dish to the refrigerator until gelatin is set (approximately 25 minutes).
At this point I left it covered in the refrigerator overnight. The next day I cut it into little squares. You could use cookie cutters to cut stars or any other shape you would like.
Notes:
- When serving, keep them cool. I kept mine on a tray, on top of another tray with ice packs in it.
