How to Make Peach Pie Jello Shots Recipe
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
Start by pouring 2 cups of water into a large measuring cup with a spout, perfect for easy pouring later. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the water’s surface and let it bloom for 15 minutes. This step is crucial for dissolving the gelatin properly and achieving that firm but tender texture without any lumps.
Step 2: Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Separate Layers
Once the gelatin has fully absorbed the water and is smooth, stir in 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk. This gives your creamy layer its irresistible richness. After stirring, divide the gelatin mixture evenly into two separate dishes. Into one, stir the half cup of Rum Chata until fully incorporated. Set this creamy mixture aside for the white layer.
Step 3: Mix the Peach Layer
In the second dish, add the vibrant 1/4 cup of Torani Peach Syrup along with 1/3 cup of Peach Schnapps, blending well to create a bright, peachy layer that balances perfectly with the creamy one. Make sure everything is fully combined for consistent flavor and color.
Step 4: Layer the Peach and Creamy Jello in Shots
Pour the peach mixture into your shot glasses, filling them halfway. This bright peach layer sets the foundation for the creamy top. Fill all the glasses before you start the next step, so you have even layers across the batch.
Step 5: Chill and Add the Creamy Layer
Refrigerate the peach-filled shot glasses for about 30 minutes to allow them to set slightly. Once firm, carefully top each glass with the Rum Chata and condensed milk mixture to create a smooth, creamy white layer that resembles the creamy filling of a pie. Return the shots to the fridge for another 30 minutes to set completely.
Step 6: Add the Peach Topping
Open your can of diced peaches in heavy syrup and spoon a small teaspoon of peach pieces atop each chilled jello shot. This fresh, juicy topping not only looks gorgeous but adds delightful texture with each bite.
Step 7: Keep Refrigerated Until Serving
Keep your Peach Pie Jello Shots chilled in the refrigerator until the moment you serve them. They’re best enjoyed cold, with their layers perfectly firm and their flavors beautifully melded.
Step 8: Enjoy!
Serve these magnificent little shots at your next gathering and watch them disappear fast! They’re fun, flavorful, and downright addictive.
How to Serve Peach Pie Jello Shots Recipe
Garnishes
For a stunning presentation, top each shot with a fresh mint leaf or a thin slice of fresh peach alongside the diced peaches. A little edible glitter or a sprinkle of cinnamon can also amp up the visual appeal and complement the warm notes of the Rum Chata perfectly.
Side Dishes
Since Peach Pie Jello Shots are sweet and boozy, pair them with light, salty snacks like pretzels, cheese boards, or mixed nuts. These contrasting flavors will balance your palate and keep the party vibes high. Fresh fruit platters also work wonderfully to complement the peach theme.
Creative Ways to Present
Consider serving your Peach Pie Jello Shots in mini mason jars for a rustic, charming touch. You can also layer them in clear plastic shot cups with decorative straws or place them on a mirrored tray with peach blossoms scattered around for an elegant feel. The layered look is beautiful in any clear container, so get creative!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Your leftover Peach Pie Jello Shots can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days without losing their texture or flavor. Be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap or lids to avoid any fridge odors or drying out.
Freezing
Freezing these jello shots is not recommended as it can alter the gelatin texture and cause the layers to separate. For the best experience, enjoy them fresh or within a few days of making.
Reheating
Since these are chilled jello shots meant to be served cold, reheating is not advised. Instead, keep them refrigerated and serve directly from the fridge to maintain their perfect consistency and refreshing flavors.
FAQs
Can I substitute the Rum Chata with another liqueur?
Absolutely! While Rum Chata adds a creamy cinnamon-vanilla note, you can try other cream liqueurs like Baileys or even a vanilla vodka for a different twist. Just keep the consistency in mind to ensure proper setting.
What if I don’t have Torani Peach Syrup? Can I use fresh peaches?
Fresh peaches add wonderful flavor, but for this recipe’s vibrant color and sweetness, the syrup is key. You could make a homemade peach syrup by simmering peaches with sugar and water, then straining it for a natural alternative.
How many jello shots does this recipe make?
This Peach Pie Jello Shots Recipe yields approximately 12 shots, perfect for a small group or party. You can easily scale the ingredients up or down depending on your needs.
Can I prepare these without alcohol?
Yes! Simply replace the Rum Chata and Peach Schnapps with additional water or peach juice. The shots won’t have the boozy kick but will still be delicious and layered with flavor.
How long do Peach Pie Jello Shots last in the fridge?
They stay fresh and tasty for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Beyond that, the gelatin texture may start to degrade, so it’s best to enjoy them within that time frame.
