Boozy Peppermint Mocha Jello Shots

December 18, 2011 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 26 Comments

Want a holiday dessert and cocktail in one? Actually forget want, you need this Jello shot!  It’s like a Peppermint Martini meets a Starbuck’s Peppermint Mocha. To make this boozey holiday dessert, I used both Peppermint Schnapps and Kahlua’s Peppermint Mocha, along with some grated Andes Peppermint candy, for added flavor, a little texture and a bit of aesthetic appeal.

Peppermint Mocha Jello Shot

You know it and I know it-I’m a bit crazy for Peppermint this holiday season. But guess who came up with this holiday Jello shot idea? Matt, Mr. Non-foodie himself, I was shocked-still am.  It isn’t that he’s not capable of being creative, but creative and food are two words that do not go in the same sentence when it comes to his palate.

There you have it Bakers Royale’s first collaborative recipe from husband and wife. We love it and hope you will too.

A few notes:

  • For the gelatin I used Knorr.  For the peppermint creamer portion, I used Coffee Mate’s Peppermint Mocha.
  • If you can’t find Kahlua’s Peppermint Mocha (seasonal), I would recommend replacing that portion with Godiva’s White Chocolate instead of using all Peppermint Schnapps, as the Jello shots will be too peppermint-y otherwise.
  • The molds I used to make the Jello shots are Wilton’s Brownie Bite pan and a mini Bundt candy mold from Bake it Pretty.
  • Alternately, you can skip the mold(s) and use an 8×8 pan. Once chilled use a slightly grease knife and cut into squares.
  • Total aside – Wouldn’t that shot above look so much better with a red striped liner rather than gold? Ah well, I didn’t have any red ones on hand.

Peppermint Mocha Jello Shots

Makes approximately 18 oz. | Preparation: Lightly spray mold with bake spray then gently wipe it down with a paper towel (a little non-stick spray goes a long way when it comes to Jello shots).

Ingredients:

  • 3 gelatin envelopes
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1 cup of Peppermint creamer
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ Kahlua’s Peppermint Mocha
  • ¼ Peppermint Schnapps
  • 8-10 Peppermint Andes, grated

Instructions:

  1. Place ½ cup of water in a small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin on top. Let gelatin soften and bloom in water for two minutes.
  2. Once the gelatin has bloomed, place saucepan over low heat and stir until gelatin has completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Add Peppermint creamer and sweetened condensed milk into gelatin mixture; stir to combine. Add in Kahlua’s Peppermint Mocha and Peppermint Schnapps; stir to combine. Add in grated Peppermint Andes; stir to combine. Pour mixture into mold and chill for at least 45-60 minutes.
  4. To remove Jello shots firmly press finger in the center until Jello shot pulls away from the side walls of mold. Then use an offset icing spatula, gently guide Jello shot out of mold. Place shots on a plate or in mini cupcake liners to serve.

    Wow, Naomi. These blow my mind. I think of jello shots as so “college” and “sophomoric”, but not these ones!

    Good job Matt! I haven’t had a jello shot in such a long time. These are a nice grown up version.

    These look amazing and I’m planning to try them for a party I have been invited to in the next week. One question though, the measurements on the Kahlua and Schnapp’s… those are 1/2 and 1/4 cup? Just says the number part.

    I love Jello Jiggler Shots and this one sounds amazing – nothing better than that chocolate/mint combo… I will have to add some of these ingredients to tomorrow’s shopping list!

    To answer your question…no. I don’t think they would have looked better on red…matter of fact, using the liners you did creates an extremely elegant little package. It’s that photo that caught my eye – enough to make me follow through to the recipe. Which is bloody brilliant by the way. 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and Matt.

    Hi there, I don’t know if you’re still able to take questions on these, but you say ‘peppermint creamer’ – do you mean, peppermint-flavoured coffee creamer?

    Also, as the other person mentioned above, the liquor quantities don’t have units – I’m guessing it’s cups, but I’d rather be certain. 🙂

  23. Di says

    December 13, 2013 at 6:19 pm

    Attempted!! While stirring mixture, it started to gel up quickly. Couldn’t pour, so spooned it in and is lumpy and not smooth. Think all the cold liquids added sped it up too fast. Waiting to taste them and hopefully they settle some and smooth out.

  24. Alex says

    How long will these keep in the refrigerator after making?

  25. Linda says

    December 12, 2014 at 5:54 am

    I’m going to make these for our Holiday Party this year. Quick question … Why 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water? Instructions only account for the 1/2 cup. Thanks so much!

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
