Create spooky Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots that are fun and easy, perfect for parties and gatherings. These Halloween themed gelatin shooters are a crowd-pleaser and quick to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet Gelatin (sugar-free gelatin can be used for a lighter version)
  • 2 cups Water (using flavored juice can enhance the taste of your Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots)
  • 12 pieces Gummy Eyeballs (alternatively, you can craft your own edible eyeballs with candy melts or icing)
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream (use coconut whipped cream for vegan versions)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Gelatin Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the gelatin with water according to the package instructions. Stir until completely dissolved, which usually takes about 2–3 minutes of vigorous mixing. You should see no granules remaining. For added flavor, consider using a fruit juice instead of water.
  2. Pour into Cups: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into small serving cups or shot glasses, filling each about three-quarters full. While pouring, keep the cups steady to avoid spills. You will want to leave a little space at the top for the gummy eyeballs later. Aim for even distribution for a neat presentation.
  3. Insert Eyeballs: Once the mixture is poured, drop one gummy eyeball into each cup, gently pressing it down so that part of it is submerged. This playful addition enhances the spooky effect of your Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots. Ensure the eyeballs are evenly spaced to create a fun visual when they’re set.
  4. Chill to Set: Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is firm to the touch. They will be ready when there’s a smooth, wobbly texture, and the cups should feel solid with no liquid sloshing around. This step is crucial for perfect jello shots!
  5. Top and Serve: Just before serving, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each jello shot for an extra creamy finish. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a delicious contrast to the sweet gelatin. Garnish with sprinkles or more gummy eyeballs if desired, and serve immediately for maximum effect!

Notes

  • Measure water accurately and follow the gelatin package instructions for the best consistency in your Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots.
  • For flavor enhancements, swap plain water for flavored juice to elevate the taste and make the jello shots more exciting.
  • Push the gummy eyeballs down gently into the mixture; this ensures they stay nestled in the jello and enhances presentation.
  • Cover the jello shots while they chill to prevent drying out, keeping them fresh for your guests to enjoy!
  • For vegan options, use agar-agar instead of traditional gelatin and top with coconut whipped cream.
