Hi and as always a huge welcome to Steve's kitchen St Patrick's Day is
upon us again and it's a time for celebration and family get-togethers
Now I started the week with that Colcanon and that is a wonderful dish, today we're
going to have a bit of fun we're going to make some jello shot in the colors of
the Irish flag
Now these are alcohol so don't be giving them to the kids
but there are a lot of fun very simple to make let me show you how
OK for the moms and dads that want to make these for the kids I am using
vodka, whiskey and my own homemade irish cream in these ones but of course when I
mentioned this in the recipe you could replace it with water and it'll be just fine
for the kids
now I've got these wonderful shot glasses they're tall which is ideal for this and
I'm using green jello we're going to start with the first layer
this is a 85 gram or three ounce of lime jelly and I'm using a glass pyrex
measuring jug to mix my jell-o's up in and we're going to use the whole pack
now we're not making this as per the instructions because we want it a little
thicker than a normal jello or jelly
so I've reduced the liquid amounts down into that I'm going to add boiling water
this is hot straight from the kettle it's one cup and give it a stir around
and let the jello completely dissolve and the Green layer we're going to be
using vodka in this one I've got half a cup of vodka
just pop that in with the green. You want to get your shot glass and pour in about
a third of the green jello. Now I find a good idea is to fill one to start with
and then put the next one next to it and use that as a line to do the second one
so you having similar amount in each glass and then I'm going to transfer
these onto a little tray
now I'm only making six this measurement will make about 12 of these if you want
to and we're going to set that green jelly into the fridge for about an hour
until it gets nice and firm
When the green jelly is almost set we're going to get ahead and make our second
layer so I've got one cup of thick whipping cream
I'm just going to pop that into a pan on a very low heat and add to it a couple of
tablespoons of superfine or caster sugar and we'll just blend that together
now this is not dissimilar to when you're making a panna cotta but we're
not making a panna cotta is a little bit firmer, the next ingredient is half a cup
of my homemade irish cream and you could use Bailey's or any similar Irish cream
and we pour that in there with the fresh cream and continue to warm that through
As these little bubbles start to form on the side you will know that you're up to
a simmer in temperature
I've got a couple of teaspoons of clear unflavoured gelatine and I just want to
sprinkle that over the top of our mixture
Now it's important once you've added the gelatine that we bring that back up to a
simmer
so all the gelatine dissolves, when the gelatine is absorbed into the cream
we're going to leave this on the side and let it cool down, it's not going to
set but we want it to be fairly cool and it might be a good idea to put this into
that pyrex pouring jug
Now our cream layer has cooled down if you put your finger in there it's
completely cool but it hasn't set to jelly yet
and as before we're going to fill this one a third and because it's cool it
won't melt the green jelly and I'll use the first one to make sure I fill them
all to an equal level and then were going to set these in the fridge now for
at least an hour until they firmed up and then we'll put the orange layer on the
top
Now while the cream layer of our jello shots is nearly set in the fridge
I'm going to prepare the orange layer so again I've got an orange flavored jelly
powder or jello powder 85 grams again that's about three ounces
I'm going to put one cup of boiling kettle water into that we're just going to
mix that up now until the granules have dissolved and when it's nice and clear
like that
I'm taking half a cup of good quality Irish whiskey of course just popping
that in there
Now unlike the first layer we need to let this cool down a little bit it's
already a little cool because we've got the whiskey in there but it's too hot at
the moment if we put it onto the cream it might disturb the layer so just leave
it 15 minutes or so
Now the whiskey jello shot has cooled down a little bit we're ready to crown
these shots off
let's pour the orange in there now we don't have to worry so much about the
height because we're going up to the top and don't they look fantastic now let's
set these aside in the fridge again until they've set firm
and there are my St Patrick Day jello shots they look fantastic
I know they're going to taste absolutely great now one last thing you could do
and it's going to involve that colored sugar that I made a little while ago on
my channel, I'll leave a link if you click the bottle now you can see how to make
colored sugar and come back and see the final decorating of the jello shots
What I'm going to do is I'm going to decorate with some colored powder sugar
a little shamrock on the top of my jello shots
now I've cut out a piece of card with a shamrock which I can just place over the
top
now if I were to sprinkle colored sugar over that now it would actually run
because there's moisture in the jelly and so what I need to do is seal the
surface of that with a little corn flour first so we're just going to shake a
little corn flour over the design and when we've got that white layer of corn
flour then we can put the sugar on top and that will stop the sugar from
spreading and ending up getting wet
I've got my green powder sugar now and again gently I'm just going to sprinkle
that over the top
and then very carefully just lift that off and there you have it there is my
little shamrock on top of my st. Patrick's jello shot. Now I'm really
stoked with the way these have come out they look fantastic on a st. Patrick's Day
party
what could be better, well only one thing shamrock
Kabam well that's just taken to turn for the better
how about that one for size, well this one must be mine
wherever you are in the world I hope you have a fantastic St Patricks Day please

next video take care. Now realistically I'm saving the big one for a little
later on when I've got guests around so I'll try one of these small ones, I hope
you enjoyed this
I'm going to give this a try actually while you're on camera because as I
suspected that is delicious

cream from the middle
