An old-school spiked coffee drink just got an update. These boozy jelly shots have everything the cocktail does — coffee, Baileys and whipped cream. Cut them into squares or use a small shamrock cookie cutter for good luck.

| Yield: | 36 shots |
Ingredients
- 2 cups hot strong black coffee
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Five 1/4-ounce packets unflavored gelatin
- One 750-ml bottle Irish whiskey and cream-based liqueur, such as Baileys Original Irish Cream
- For Serving: Whipped cream and chocolate-covered espresso beans
Instructions
- Line a 8-by-8-inch baking dish with plastic wrap so there is a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
- Whisk together the coffee and sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Vigorously whisk in 2 packets of gelatin until dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly. Strain the coffee mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the prepared pan. Use a spoon to scrape off any foam from the top. Refrigerate, uncovered, until firm, about 1 hour. Use a wooden skewer to poke several holes into the gelatin. (This will help the two layers stick together.)
- Microwave 1 cup of the liqueur in liquid measuring cup on high until hot, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 3 packets of gelatin and whisk until dissolved. Add the remaining liqueur and whisk to combine. Pour the mixture over the set coffee gelatin and chill until completely firm, about 2 hours.
- Gently lift the gelatin out of the pan using the plastic wrap to help you. Cut into 36 squares. (You could also use a small shamrock cookie cutter.)
- Pipe small dollops of whipped cream on top of each jelly shot and top each with an espresso bean. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

First reviewer, reread the recipe carefully. All the ingredients are listed.
I bought both the Irish Whiskey and Bailey’s….the Irish Whiskey is NOWHERE in the directions!
I made this last year for a party and it was a huge hit! These were delicious and festive!
