Bring a tropical twist to your next party with Pina Colada Jell-O Shots—an irresistible blend of sweet pineapple juice, creamy coconut milk, and a splash of white rum for that quintessential island vibe. These boozy, bite-sized treats are elevated with cream of coconut for a silky texture and a burst of flavor in every layer. Perfectly chilled and beautifully set, they’re topped off with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for a playful garnish. Easy to make in just 15 minutes (with some chill time), these fun and flavorful shots are the ultimate crowd-pleaser for summer gatherings, cocktail nights, or any festive celebration—just serve and enjoy responsibly!
Pour the pineapple juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Allow the gelatin to bloom for 3-5 minutes, without stirring.
Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring gently, until the gelatin fully dissolves. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the coconut milk, cream of coconut, and white rum until smooth.
Prepare small shot cups or molds and evenly distribute the mixture into each cup, filling approximately 3/4 full to leave space for optional decorations.
Transfer the cups to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, garnish with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if desired, just before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly!
