Description
Coconut Lime Daiquiri Jello Shots are tropical, creamy, and citrusy—layered with lime gelatin and a coconut cream topping for the perfect party-ready treat.
Ingredients
Lime Layer:
1 box (3 oz) lime-flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
½ cup cold water
½ cup KeKe Key Lime Pie liqueur (or other lime cream liqueur)
Coconut Layer:
¾ cup coconut water, divided
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 envelope (0.25 oz) unflavored gelatin
Optional: 1 oz white rum
Garnish:
Lime wedges (small)
Toasted coconut flakes
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, dissolve lime gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir well. Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup lime liqueur. Mix and pour into 2 oz shot cups, filling halfway. Chill 60–90 minutes.
2. Warm ½ cup coconut water (do not boil). Sprinkle in gelatin and whisk until dissolved. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and the remaining ¼ cup coconut water. Add 1 oz rum if using. Cool to room temperature.
3. Once lime layer is set, top with coconut layer. Chill 1–2 hours until fully set.
4. Top with whipped cream, lime wedge, and toasted coconut before serving.
Notes
Use lime juice instead of liqueur to make these alcohol-free.
No coconut water? Use water with coconut extract.
Toast coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often.
Make in advance and keep chilled up to 3 days (no garnish).
