Yes! Candy corn jello shots! How did you guess?
Without a doubt, my mini watermelon jello shots are the most popular post on my blog, so I knew for That's so Michelle's birthday week I definitely had to revisit them ... and why not make them seasonally appropriate too?
Slightly modified mini watermelon jellos shots = candy corn jello shots!
These little babies are super cute and the coconut jello on top mixed with the orange is de-li-cious. They taste like little orange jello creamsicles (yet there is almost an entire bottle of Pinnacle whipped cream flavored vodka inside, watch out!)
The step by step is the same as with the mini watermelon jello shots, with the addition of one more layer of jello.
Shopping List
10 oranges
1 box orange jello
1 can coconut milk
1 envelope Knox geletin
1/4 cup sugar
1 bottle Pinnacle whipped cream flavored vodka
1. Prepare oranges by cutting them in halves and hollowing out the peel. This may sound easier than it is. The trick is to take a paring knife and score around the insides to carefully loosen the citrus, then spoon it out. Arrange the hollowed out orange bowls on a cookie sheet (securely upright) or in a cupcake pan.
For Orange Layer
2. Boil one cup of water then stir in packet of orange jello. When dissolved slowly add one cup of vodka and stir. Pour orange mixture into the orange peels, filling half way. Let refrigerated for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.
For White Layer
3. Pour 1/2 a cup of water and 1/2 a cup of coconut milk into a sauce pan and then sprinkle1 packet of Knox gelatin on top. Let is sit for one minute, then turn on medium heat and stir until dissolved. Add 1/4 cup sugar and heat until dissolved.
Turn off the heat and wait until the mixture is just warm and then add 1/2 a cup of vodka. Pour into oranges on top of orange jello layer.
4. Let refrigerate overnight.
5. Quarter the halves with a sharp knife, then cut those halves in half again.

ReplyDeleteYou are so creative. They look so... cute. I tried to make with agar agar for my vegan friend, but wasn't successful.
ReplyDeleteThese look really good, although I would be curious to find out how the oranges themself taste, peel and all...Or do you scoop them out? Sorry for asking possibly dumb questions but I'm not familiair with these.. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the most unique and beautiful ideas I have ever seen!!
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! And I bet they're even better than the real ones.

ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute, awesome idea. I hold a Pumpkin Carving Party every year, and this is going on the menu. Question: This is a kiddie party. What can I use in place of the whipped cream flavored vodka? Water? And Happy Blog Birthday!

Yay! Michelle ...thanks for making the changes on your blog so that I could post! I just love your blog and was feeling bad that I could not tell you that directly. I especially loved your wine tasting segment and though we are neighbors, I've yet to try Virginia wines. There are several of us foodies here in the D.C. area. Would love to get a group of us and do a wine tasting field trip one day! In the mean while...I'm going to learn how to make these awesome jello shots! And thanks again for reworking your comment section! : )
ReplyDeleteThese look so great!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and I love it!!!

Really a great idea! I'm curious why you didn't use the strained juice from the oranges for the first layer of Jello? I think they could be carefully reamed out then the rest of the orange could be pulled out. I can't wait to try the vodka!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hollowing out the oranges is positively maddening, but - I just put my "orange layer" in the fridge to set...can't wait to see the finished product! I would also HIGHLY recommend throwing the leftover orange "guts" in a pot with some cinnamon && sage and simmering for a while...my house smells AMAZING right now! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute not to make for my party!! But how far ahead can I make them & they will still be 'fresh'?
ReplyDeleteThe base of a candy corn is yellow before orange. You should use lemons instead of oranges. But great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! Again! And I love that particular vodka so I need to try this. Oh yes, yes I do :-P
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best jell-o shot ideas! I love these so much!
ReplyDeleteYou are a GOSH DARN GENIUS!!! This is a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteI just got done making these for a party and they are so cute and yummy! Best part is that I have left over vodka that I can either drink or make more with! :)
ReplyDeleteOh! I forgot to ask! When I hallowed out my oranges the umbilical cord caused a little hole to appear which I stuffed with pieces of orange peel (but some holes were just too big and caused leaks so I ended up throwing a couple away) but what I was wondering if you had that same issue and what you did to remedy it?
ReplyDeleteLOVE! I made my first layer last night. Cant wait to see if they work out (hollowing the oranges is a pain in the booty!) Kristen - I had the same issue and tried to remedy it with tape to no success. Those orange peels are lost causes. Make sure to cut the orange the opposite way so it doesn't happen again ;)
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome! I'm going to try them. I'm sure they're great.
ReplyDeleteGreat Recipe (I tasted the jello)! I made these today for a Halloween party I am attending tomorrow. I am sure they will be a hit.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to share how I got the pulp out of the orange. It made the process a lot easier. I halved the oranges and then I squeezed the juice into a bowl very softly being careful not to rip the skin. I then, with a grapefruit spoon, scraped the pulp right out starting from the inside. It took no time at all, with in minutes I really got the hang of it and scooped out 20 oranges.
thanks again for the recipe! what a great idea.
I am making these tonight for a halloween party tomorrow. So excited - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I made these for Halloween. The kids loved them. Thanks!!!
