Christmas Stained Glass Jello Shot Bundt Cake

Bundt Cake Jello Shot

I love conversational pieces for jello shots. And what would be a better way to end a seafood boil Christmas dinner with family and friends?  Plus it tastes good with or without the alcohol.  Since I was doing jello shot (slices) the following recipe includes the vodka, but if you want a no-restriction version, just make the jello as stated on the packages (omitting vodka for water).

Ingredients

3 Cups of Vodka (I use plain, but can be flavored)

3 Cups of Boiling Water

14 oz. Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 Envelopes of Knox® Unflavored Gelatin

6 oz. Green Jell-O® Gelatin

6 oz. Strawberry or Cherry Flavored Jell-O® Gelatin

Bundt Cake Pan

Make Green Jello

Pour 1 cup of vodka into a bowl or container. Add the green Jell-O and let it stand for about one minute. Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the gelatin mix. Stir until the gelatin completely dissolves. Pour the green jello into a lightly oiled pan (I use oil spray- like Pam) and place them in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until firm.

Make Red Jello

Follow the same steps to make the red jello.

Make White Jello

After the Red and Green jello have firmed up, make the white Jello.

Pour 1 cup of vodka into a bowl or container. Sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin over the vodka. Let it stand for about two minutes. Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir until the gelatin completely dissolves. Pour the sweetened condensed milk and stir well. Place the white gelatin mixture in the refrigerator to cool down. About 10 minutes, still liquid for pouring but not warm. Don’t let it skim over and start firming. Note: White jello mixture must be cooled down completely to prevent it from melting/bleeding with the other colors.

Prepare Bundt Pan

Spray bundt pan with cooking spray. 

Dice the Red and Green Jello

Unmold the red and green gelatin. Dice both gelatins with a warm sharp knife to create small cubes. Randomly place the red and green gelatin cubes into the prepared bundt pan.

Pour the White Gelatin

Once the white gelatin has cooled down, pour it over the diced red and green gelatin cubes. Stir gently to distribute the gelatin cubes.

Refrigerate and Unmold the Christmas Jello

Place the bundt pan in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until firm. Once the gelatin sets, unmold it. Run knife around bundt pan and around the center tube.  It will fall out without little effort. Using a warm sharp knife, slice the gelatin.

Change colors for different holidays, parties or birthday themes: (i.e. 4^th of July I use blue/red/white). 

Merry Christmas 2015!
