Main Ingredients

  • 1 box Pink Starburst Jello 3.94 oz box
  • 1 box Blue Jello 3 oz box
  • 2.5 cups Boiling Water divided: 1 cup + 1.5 cups
  • 0.66 cup Vodka for pink layer
  • 0.5 cup Vodka for blue layer
  • 2 cups Whipped Cream plus extra for garnish
  • 2 cups Pink Cotton Candy
  • 2 cups Blue Cotton Candy
  • 0.5 cup Corn Syrup for rimming
  • 0.25 cup Pastel Nonpareil Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Place the sprinkles in a small bowl.
  • Using a small paint brush, lightly dip it into the corn syrup and brush it around the rim of each shot glass. Wherever the corn syrup touches, that’s where sprinkles will stick. After brushing, dip the rim into the sprinkles and roll until fully covered.
  • Add the Pink Starburst Jello to a medium mixing bowl and pour in 1.5 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Add 0.66 cup of vodka and stir. Add 2 cups of pink cotton candy and stir until partially dissolved into the jello.
  • Using a syringe or injector, carefully fill each shot glass about 2/3 full with the pink jello mixture, making sure not to get the sprinkled rim wet. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until fully set.
  • While the pink layer sets, add the blue jello to another bowl with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add 0.5 cup vodka and 2 cups blue cotton candy. Stir well.
  • Add 2 cups of whipped cream to the blue jello mixture and whisk until fully combined and slightly fluffy.
  • If the mixture is still warm, let it cool to room temperature. Then, using the injector, carefully fill each shot glass the rest of the way with the blue layer.
  • Return the shot glasses to the fridge for at least 1 hour or until completely set. Before serving, top with whipped cream, a little extra sprinkles, and form small cotton candy balls to garnish, if desired.

Notes

For a larger batch, simply double the ingredients. Avoid adding extra alcohol beyond stated amounts, as too much can prevent the jello from setting. Use whipped cream vodka as a shortcut for the blue layer if desired, and reduce or omit plain vodka accordingly.
