Straw-bunny Creamsicle Jello Shots 🍓🐰🥚 T Straw-bunny Creamsicle Jello Shots 🍓🐰🥚 These strawberry creamsicle Easter egg jello shots are the cutest! Straw-bunny Creamsicle Jello Shots (makes 16) ◽️1/2 cup vanilla vodka ◽️1/4 cup Cointreau or triple sec ◽️1/2 cup coconut milk ◽️3 (0.25 oz) pks gelatin ◽️1 1/4 cup Simply Strawberry Juice ◽️1 tsp pink edible glitter ◽️Coconut oil spray ◽️Whipped cream or whipped topping ◽️Optional toppings: sprinkles, edible flowers, mint 1. Bring strawberry juice to boil. In the meantime, add vanilla vodka, Cointreau and coconut milk to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over mixture and let sit for 1 minute to soften. 2. Add hot strawberry juice and pink edible glitter to the bowl. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. 3. Generously grease the silicone egg molds with coconut oil. Place the molds on a plate or board so they’re easy to transfer. Fill the molds with the gelatin mixture. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until firm. 4. When ready to serve, carefully remove the jello shots from the molds. You may need to run a paring knife around the edges if they are sticking. Place on a serving plate. Top each egg with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping (whipped topping will hold for longer). If desired, top with sprinkles, edible flowers and mint sprigs. #jelloshots #jelloshots #easterbrunch #easteregg #easterrecipes #easterready
