Banana Split Jello Shots: a playful twist on a classic dessert that adds a touch of whimsy to any gathering. Imagine a vibrant array of miniature delights, each one a burst of flavor and nostalgia reminiscent of the beloved banana split.
base layer, a velvety smooth banana-flavored gelatin, captures the essence of ripe, creamy bananas, evoking memories of childhood summers spent indulging in frozen treats.
Nestled atop the banana layer lies a dollop of rich, chocolatey goodness, reminiscent of the decadent fudge sauce that adorns a traditional banana split. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with the sweet creaminess of the banana gelatin perfectly complemented by the indulgent richness of the chocolate.
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup very cold whole milk
- ¾ cup banana pudding cream moonshine (Ole Smoky brand recommended)
- 3.4 oz instant banana cream flavored pudding mix
Garnish:
- Squirt whipped topping (Reddi Whip brand, extra creamy)
- Chocolate sauce dessert topping (in a squirt bottle, Ghirardelli brand recommended)
- Rainbow sprinkles
- Fresh banana slices (¼ inch thick)
- Maraschino cherries (drained of juice and patted dry)
Instructions:
Arrange 10 (2 oz. sized) jello shot cups on a rimmed tray or platter and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, banana pudding cream moonshine, and instant banana cream flavored pudding mix. Whisk for 2 minutes or until the mixture is starting to set up but is still pourable.
Fill each jello shot cup with the banana split pudding mixture.
Refrigerate the cups for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the pudding to fully set.
Just before serving, garnish each banana split jello shot with a squirt of whipped topping, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, rainbow sprinkles, a slice of fresh banana, and a maraschino cherry.
