Reviews
I also made in larger cups mostly because store didn’t have shot glass size, but still made enough. I didn’t use the alcohol and it was a nice refreshing dessert.
Just made this recipe for the 4th. First off I used cordial plastic glasses that I got from Dollar Tree. The 2oz shot glasses are too small as it makes a lot of mixture. Second you really need to put first layer in freezer not frig as it didn’t set up at 25 min. I even put back in frig for another25 min. So then I just stuck in freezer for10 min. That did the trick. Then you could put back in frig after second layer providing you are not using in an hr. Not having mine til Sun. Overnight should do the trick!
Excellent easy& yummy!!!
Yaaahooooo! Adults can have fun on the Fourth too!
