Learn how to make fancy fruit wedge jello shots for grown ups for your next party.These fancy-looking fruit wedges are a fun adult take on a favorite childhood dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 8 medium oranges (at least)
  • 4 (85 g) boxes orange flavor gelatin
  • 2 1/2 cups boiling water

Method:

  • Slice the fruit cleanly in half lengthwise (through the axis).
  • Carefully remove the pulp while keeping the half rind fully intact.
  • Ensure that the rinds are dry (you can use paper towels to blot them).
  • Set each half rind upright in a muffin pan so you can fill it with Jello.
  • Mix the water with the gelatin (just like you would to make jigglers).
  • You’ll want the Jello a little firmer than the normal recipe as you have to slice it in half again.
  • Make sure that the gelatin is well dissolved, and then pour into the fruit before it begins to set.
  • Fill up as high as you can, the Jello will shrink a bit when cooling.
  • Carefully transfer to the fridge and let set for about three hours, per box directions.
  • When the Jello is set, place the fruit open-side down on a cutting board, hold it’s shape with one hand and carefully slice in half lengthwise again to form quarters.
  • Be careful not to smash the fruit as you’ll want to keep the Jello intact (you may use a serrated knife).
  • Ready to serve!
