Fireball Pie Jelly Shots Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Let pie crust come to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Evenly pierce entire crust with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine pumpkin pie filling, evaporated milk, sugar, whiskey, eggs, salt, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until just blended. Pour into the pre-baked pie shell.
• Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until filling is set and no longer jiggles, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Put a medium bowl in the freezer to chill.
• Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over 1 cup cold water in a medium saucepan. Let sit until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Stir the mixture, and add the mint leaves and granulated sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the sugar and gelatin are dissolved completely, about 5 minutes (don't let the mixture come to a boil). Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl placed over an ice bath, pressing the mint with the back of a spoon to extract all the juices. Stir in the bourbon, and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.
• Place sixteen 1-ounce disposable plastic or paper cups on a small rimmed sheet pan. Put 1 medium mint leaf into each glass. Divide the gelatin mixture evenly among the glasses, totally submerging the mint leaves (they will float to the top). Refrigerate the shots until completely set, about 3 hours. (These can be done a day ahead.)
• Pour the cream and confectioners' sugar into the chilled bowl. Beat the mixture with a large whisk until medium peaks form. Gently fold in the liqueur with a rubber spatula. (This step can be done a day ahead; refrigerate the whipped cream in an airtight container.) Serve the shots cold, topped with whipped cream.
