Vegan Jello Shots

December 12, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 cup sweet fruit juice
* 1 cup coconut rum or vodka
* 1/2 teaspoon agar powder
* 1/2 tablespoon corn starch

Directions:

Pour the juice into a microwave-safe container or
a small pot. Mix in the agar powder and let sit
for about 5 minutes. Bring the juice to a boil
in the microwave or on the stove and boil or
simmer for about 1 minute. Stir in DISSOLVED
cornstarch* and rum or vodka. Pour mixture into
about 15 to 18 shot glasses or small cups.
Refrigerate at least a few hours to let
the “jello” set. Keep refrigerated until use.

*To dissolve the cornstarch, mix it with about 1
to 2 Tbsp. COLD water.

Notes:

-The consistency is similar to gelatin-based
Jello, but a little softer, which in my opinion
slides down your throat easier.

-You can easily change the ratio of juice to
alcohol to make the shots more or less strong.
(I do not recommend making them any stronger
though - yuck!)

-When taking the shots, keep in mind they are
alcohol shots, not yummy desserts, so drink them
fast.

* Please be a responsible drinker!
