Introduction: Arrested Development Jello Shooter

Lucille: Get me a vodka rocks.

Michael: Mom, it’s breakfast.

Lucille: And a piece of toast.


Time for some frozen chocolate-dipped banana jello shooters!!

Hold the toast.

Unless it has Nutella.

Step 1: Gelatin Prep

Ingredients for Four 2 oz Shooters:
  • 1 package Knox Gelatin
  • ½ cup Water
  • ¼ cup Dark Crème de Cacao
  • ¼ cup Banana Liqueur (e.g., 99 Bananas)
  • Sprinkles, Crushed Nuts, or Shredded Coconut (optional)

Pour package of Knox gelatin into microwavable container, add ½ cup cold water, and stir.

Microwave until gelatin has bloomed, stirring periodically.

Pour ¼ cup of the mixture into a separate container.

To each ¼ cup of mixture, add ¼ cup crème de cacao to one and ¼ cup banana liqueur to the other.

Step 2: Banana Layer

Pour the banana mixture equally amongst four 2 oz shooter glasses and refrigerate until set.

Step 3: Chocolate Layer

Once set, top with the crème de cacao mixture. A large dosing syringe helps.

Refrigerate again until set.

Step 4: Garnish

Once set, carefully heat the top of the crème de cacao gelatin (e.g., with a blow dryer) and top with sprinkles, nuts, or coconut.

Refrigerate again to reset the top.
