Peppermint & Hot Cocoa – The Perfect Blend of Flavors
Peppermint and cocoa are a match made in dessert heaven. The rich and velvety taste of cocoa beautifully complements the refreshing zing of peppermint, making this combination a beloved winter favorite. By turning it into jello shots, we take this delightful duo to a whole new level of fun and enjoyment.
Grocery List – Ingredients for Candy Cane Cocoa Jello Shots
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s gather the ingredients:
- 1 cup of hot water
- 1 packet (0.25 oz) unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup peppermint schnapps (adjust according to your preference)
- 1/2 cup chocolate liqueur
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Whipped cream, crushed candy canes, and mini chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
How to Make Peppermint Cocoa Jello Shots
- Prepare the Gelatin: In a heat-resistant bowl, mix the unflavored gelatin with hot water until it dissolves completely. Stir gently and let it cool for a minute.
- Add the Flavors: Now comes the exciting part! Incorporate the peppermint schnapps and chocolate liqueur into the gelatin mixture. These two ingredients will give the jello shots their delightful peppermint cocoa essence. If you prefer a stronger peppermint kick, feel free to adjust the amounts accordingly.
- Add the Sweetness: To balance the flavors and add a creamy touch, mix in the sweetened condensed milk. This step will ensure that every bite of the jello shot is a delectable experience.
- Pour into Mold: Carefully pour the mixture into your preferred jello shot molds or small cups. Silicon molds are great for easy removal, but any small, disposable cups will do the trick just as well.
- Chill Time: Refrigerate the jello shots for at least 4 hours or until they are fully set. Patience is key here, as you wouldn’t want to miss out on the perfect texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the jello shots are set and ready, it’s time to add a touch of festive flair! Top each shot with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes. The presentation alone will have your guests in awe!
