The Homicidal Homemaker shows you how to create these unique Deviled Egg Jelly Shots that look exactly like the real deal! Perfect for April Fool’s Day, Easter, or any other party.
What You Need:
“Eggs”
- 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin (Knox is a popular brand)
- 1/2 C. + 2 T. of water (5 fl. oz.)
- 1/3 C. of Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/2 C. of UV Cake Vodka (or other flavored vodka of your choice)
- 2 T. of Torani Chocolate Bianco Syrup (or other flavored syrup of your choice)
“Yolk”
- 1/2 batch of frosting or Whipped Cream Icing of your choice
- yellow food coloring
- ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Other Supplies:
- Pot
- Whisk
- Plastic Egg Plate (I got mine at Dollar Tree)
- Cooking Spray
- Paper Towels
- Candy Squeeze Bottle
- Decorative serving plate/platter
Place your water in the pot. “Bloom” the gelatin by sprinkling it evenly over the water; let stand for 2 minutes. Then, over low heat, stir the mixture with your whisk, until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vodka and flavored syrup. Set aside to cool.
Prepare your ‘molds’ by giving the plastic egg plate a light spray of cooking spray. Then wipe with a paper towel, just to leave a light residue that will aid you in un-molding the jellies without sticking or breaking. If you don’t wipe it down, you’ll be left with a really oily/shiny residue on the eggs; not good!
Once the mixture has cooled slightly, fill your molds to the desired fullness. The cavities in mine were quite large, so I did not fill them all the way. I used a candy squeeze bottle to fill mine, but a spoon would also work fine.
Place the plate in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Mine set up in about 30 minutes, but the longer they chill, the better.
Prepare your favorite frosting recipe, and tint it yellow with the food coloring. I tried a ‘Whipped Jello Frosting’ recipe I found online, and did not care for the taste at all. So I would highly recommend using an icing that you’re familiar with and enjoy. Make sure it’s firm enough to pipe. Place the icing in a pastry bag fitted with a star-tip.
Once the eggs are fully set, remove them from the ‘mold’ and place on a decorative plate or platter. Pipe swirls/rosettes on the eggs, and sprinkle with a bit of ground cinnamon.
Now, sit back and watch your guests be fooled by the realism of these Deviled Egg Jelly Shots!
Following up…these were SUCH a hit! Everyone was blown away by them & couldn’t stop eating. I made 2 batches, and they all went. The group consensus was that it was a “mind-game experience” when you expect to eat an egg but you get this sweet treat instead that has exact egg consistency yet unexpected taste. A few people said, “I usually don’t like deviled eggs, but those things were awesome!” So thanks for sharing this recipe – you were celebrating with us, in Spirit, down here in the Big Easy. Laissez les bons temps rouler!!
