INGREDIENTS
85g cherry gelatin dessert
85g lime gelatin dessert
3 packets unflavored gelatin (7-10g each)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups vanilla vodka
36 dollops whipped cream (for garnish)
36 mint leaves (for garnish)
72 small red candies (or 36 if using just one for garnish)
DIRECTIONS
Lightly coat a square dish with cooking spray, and then using a paper towel, wipe out the dish. It will leave a light residue to help unmold your shots, but it won’t affect the taste.
For red layer, sprinkle half of a packet of gelatin over ¼ cup of water. Allow it to soak in a minute or two. Add one box of the cherry gelatin, along with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until everything has dissolved. Add 3/4 cup of vodka. Repeat the same process to make the green layer.
To make the white layer, sprinkle two packets of gelatin over ½ cup of water. Allow it to soak in a minute or two. Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and one can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed and gelatin is dissolved. You’ll have approximately 3 cups of liquid. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Pour half of the red mixture into the prepared pan. Place pan in refrigerator to set, about 20 minutes or so. Once set, add 1/3 of the white mixture to the top of the red mixture. Pop any air bubbles and return to fridge to set for about 20 minutes. Repeat with half of the green mixture. Then white, then red, then white again, then green. Allow finished pan to set another 2-3 hours, or overnight.
When you’re ready to serve, gently pull the edges away from the pan, and invert onto a cutting board. Slice into even squares. (Alternately, you can just cut in the pan itself, but it might be harder to remove the first few squares).
Place on serving platter and top with whipped cream, using a piping bag or can. Top with a small mint leaf and a red candy (or two) to simulate a holly leaf.

Ezelda Du Plessis Hi Rina.. ek kan nie so mooi onthou nie…. weet net ek het die jelly sterk gemaak, een kop water en nie twee nie per pakkie. Die kondensmelk mengsel was een blikkie met gewone gelatine soos per aanwysings…as ek onthou het ek dit bietjie sterker ook gedoen om te keer dat dit nie loop nie. So dit was n stywerige jelly wat ek in een bak kon uitkeer en met n skerp mes gesny het. Ek het wel die mes in warm water gedoop met elke sny. Die geheim is sterk gelatine. Hoop dit help.
What size are the packets of gelatin? I’ve seen these in many sizes. I have seen this recipe on several sites but it always says 3 packets of gelatin without specifying the weight
Francois jammer ek kom nou eers terug na jou toe… ek het met Ezelda gesels wat dit al gemaak het en sy se dat dit die klein pakkies is, 7g, maar sy het 10g pakkies gebruik, so jy kan gerus maar 10g per kleur gebruik. dit sal nie teveel wees nie. hoop dit kom lekker
