Ingredients
- Base: flavored gelatin (pastel colors), boiling water, cold water, vodka or rum, cooking spray
- Containers: plastic Easter eggs, shot cups, silicone molds, cupcake liners
- Garnish: whipped cream, pastel sprinkles, mini chocolate eggs, Peeps, edible grass, berries
- Variations: sweetened condensed milk for creamy layers, multiple colors for rainbow effect
Instructions
Prepare and lightly grease your chosen containers. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water, whisking 2-3 minutes until completely smooth. Cool 5 minutes. Add cold water and alcohol, stir well. Pour into prepared containers, filling ¾ full. Refrigerate 4+ hours until completely firm. Carefully unmold or serve in cups. Garnish just before serving with whipped cream, sprinkles, or Easter decorations.
Notes
Use truly boiling water for smooth gelatin. Ratio of ½ cup alcohol to ½ cup water per 3 oz gelatin is crucial—more alcohol prevents setting. Chill minimum 4 hours, preferably overnight. Make 1-2 days ahead for best results. Add garnishes just before serving. Store covered in refrigerator up to 4 days. Clearly label as adults-only if children present. For non-alcoholic version, replace alcohol with juice or water.
