Servings: 24 servings
Equipment
- Shot Glasses
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Layer
- 1 Cup water boiling
- 1 Box strawberry flavored gelatin 3-Ounce
- 1 Cup rum strawberry-flavored, chilled
- 12 strawberries about 2 Cups, diced into ¼-inch cubes
For the Cheesecake Layer
- 2 Cup milk cold
- 1 Cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1 Cup rum strawberry-flavored, chilled
- 2 Boxes instant pudding 3.4-Ounce, cheesecake-flavored
Toppings
- whipped cream
- 3 graham crackers crushed
Instructions
Make the Strawberry Layer
- Remove boiling water from heat source. In a 1.5-quart saucepan (or other similarly sized heatproof container), add strawberry gelatin to boiling water. Whisk until gelatin has completely dissolved. Add chilled strawberry rum. Stir to mix.
- Spoon a tablespoon of diced strawberries into each 2-ounce shot glass. Add about a tablespoon (½-ounce) of gelatin over top of the diced strawberries in each cup. Submerge the strawberries using the spoon so that they’re evenly distributed in the gelatin.
- Refrigerate for 1½ hours or until set.
Make the Cheesecake Layer
- While gelatin is chilling, stir together milk, heavy whipping cream, and rum. Add powdered pudding mix to liquid and whisk constantly for 2 minutes.
- Refrigerate until ready to use. (The pudding will be slightly thinner than usual).
Assemble the Shots
- Remove set gelatin from the refrigerator along with the cheesecake pudding mixture. Whisk the pudding, stirring until smooth. Top each shot with about 2½ tablespoons of the prepared pudding.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Top with whipped cream and crushed graham crackers just before serving.
Notes
Use cold ingredients: Make sure the milk, cream, and rum are well chilled for the pudding to set properly.
Don’t overfill: Leave room for the garnish when layering into the shot cups.
Whisk the pudding again before layering: It may thicken more while chilling, so give it a quick stir before spooning it in.
Chill thoroughly between layers: This keeps the colors and textures distinct.
