Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 2 cups Water
- 3 Envelopes Unflavored Gelatin
- 1 cup Vodka
- 1/4 cup Torani Vanilla Syrup
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
Chocolate Layer
- 1/2 cup Hershey’s Chocolate Fudge Syrup
Peanut Butter Frosting
- 3/4 cup Peanut Butter
- 1 stick Butter (softened)
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups Powdered Sugar
Topping
- Chocolate Syrup (to drizzle on top)
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Pour the water into a large measuring cup with a spout. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the water and let it bloom for about 15 minutes until it is completely dissolved and no lumps remain, forming a smooth gelatin base.
- Mix Vodka and Flavorings: Stir the vodka and Torani vanilla syrup into the gelatin mixture until fully incorporated. Then, divide the gelatin mixture evenly into two separate bowls. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter to one bowl and stir thoroughly to blend it completely. Add 1/2 cup Hershey’s chocolate fudge syrup to the other bowl and mix well until smooth.
- Prepare the Bottom Chocolate Layer: Pour the chocolate fudge gelatin mixture carefully into the bottom of each shot glass, filling about one-quarter of the glass. Place the shot glasses in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour to allow this layer to set firmly.
- Add the Peanut Butter Layer: Once the chocolate layer is set, remove the glasses from the refrigerator and spoon the peanut butter gelatin mixture on top, filling the glass up to about three-quarters full. Return the glasses to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 30 minutes to let this layer firm up.
- Top with More Chocolate Layer: After chilling, add a final layer of the chocolate fudge gelatin mixture to fill the shot glasses completely. Put the glasses back in the refrigerator and chill for 1 more hour until fully set and firm.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Frosting: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and 3/4 cup peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar (1 1/2 to 2 cups) to achieve a thick, spreadable consistency suitable for piping or dolloping.
- Decorate and Serve: Once all the gelatin layers are fully set, top each shot with a small dollop or swirl of the peanut butter frosting. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the tops for added flavor and a beautiful finish. Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly.
Notes
- Use shot glasses that hold approximately 1 to 1.5 ounces each for ease in layering and serving.
- Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved and no lumps remain to ensure smooth layers.
- Allow each layer to properly set in the refrigerator before adding the next for clean, distinct layers.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the frosting to your desired sweetness and consistency.
- Keep the shots refrigerated until serving, as they contain gelatin and will soften at room temperature.
- Alcohol content can be adjusted by varying the vodka quantity but affects the firmness of the gelatin layers.
