I've seen this idea of making jello shots in citrus rinds, but this idea of making them look like mini-watermelons, I just had to share it. This idea is perfect for a BBQ or any summertime party. Not to mention, everyone will not only love the way they look, but they taste great!
What you will need:
- 10 limes, pulp removed
- 1 box red Jello (Watermelon flavor is obviously preferred but strawberry, raspberry, or even cherry will work. Any red jello will work really.)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold vodka (Again, if you have melon flavored, go for it)
- Mini chocolate chips (Or black sprinkles will work too)
- Halve limes and use a paring knife around the edges of the halves to loosen the pulp from the rind. Remove all citrus from rind, using a spoon works well. Side note: save all the lime citrus and make juice with it or add to homemade guacamole.
- In a sauce pan, boil 1 cup of water. Add jello powder, and stir for 2 minutes until fully dissolved.
- Stir in cup of cold vodka. If you're on a budget, the cheaper the better.
- Pour mixture into lime halves, filling all the way to the top. It is easier to place halved limes in a muffin tin so they down roll around and run away on you.
- Chill Jello-limes in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each lime half in half again, making wedges.
- Stick in chocolate chips, if desired.
Recipe yields 40 servings.
