When it comes to making jello shots, the cups you use can vary depending on what you have available. If you don't have enough small shot glasses, there are other options you can try. One option is to use ice cube trays. These can work well because they provide small, bite-sized portions that are easy to handle. Plus, the shape of the ice cube tray can add a fun twist to your jello shots.
To use ice cube trays for jello shots, simply pour the prepared jello mixture into each individual compartment of the tray. Make sure not to overfill them, as you want the jello to set properly. Once filled, place the ice cube tray in the refrigerator and allow the jello to set completely. Once set, you can easily pop out the jello shots from the tray and serve them.
Another alternative to using cups for jello shots is a muffin tin. This option is great if you want to make larger jello shots or if you prefer a different shape. To use a muffin tin for jello shots, lightly grease the compartments with cooking spray or butter to help the jello shots release easily. Pour the prepared jello mixture into each compartment and refrigerate until set. Once set, you can remove the jello shots from the muffin tin by gently loosening the edges with a knife and then popping them out.
If you want to take a trip down memory lane, you can make jello shots jigglers-style. Jello shot jigglers are similar to regular jello shots, but they are made with less liquid, resulting in a firmer consistency. To make jello shot jigglers, follow the instructions on the jello package but use half the amount of water called for. This will create a more solid jello mixture that you can cut into fun shapes or bite-sized squares.
In terms of personal experiences, I have used both ice cube trays and muffin tins for jello shots in the past. They both work well and can add a unique twist to your jello shots presentation. The ice cube trays are especially great for parties or gatherings where guests can easily grab a jello shot off a tray. The muffin tin, on the other hand, is perfect for larger jello shots that can be sliced and served on a platter.
If you don't have enough cups for jello shots, don't worry! You can get creative and use ice cube trays or muffin tins instead. These alternatives can add a fun twist to your jello shots and make them even more enjoyable for your guests. Just remember to adjust the amount of jello mixture you use based on the size and shape of the container you choose. Cheers to delicious and unique jello shots!
