Orange Creamsicle Jello Shots
Anytime we have a gathering to attend, I am pretty much the designated jello shot maker.
Not only do I enjoy making Jello Shots, but I have to say, they are quite tasty. I never leave with leftovers to take home.
I’ve made everything from Gummy Bear Jello Shots to Mermaid Jello Shots. I’ve even made Pink Starburst Jello Shots, Pink Champagne Jello Shots and even Pokemon Poke Ball Jello Shots.
So, if you like Jello Shots, you’ve come to the right place!

Do you have to place in freezer?I am making today for a party tomorrow. Can I do the whole process and store in fridge skipping freezer?
You can skip the freezer but they will likely need additional time in the fridge. The freezer helps the mixture set faster.
Never made anything like this before. But they were a big hit at my daughters wedding shower. So easy to make and everyone loved them.
Can I use coconut rum instead of rum chata?
You certainly can but it may change the taste/texture a bit. I bet it would still be very good though 🙂
Guys! It’s one pouch of unflavored gelatin which is .25 oz. I learned the hard way.
What could you sub for the rumchata to make these non alcoholic?
I would either use water or something like coconut water or condensed milk.
Can I use ice cream instead of sherbet?
I’ve never made them that way as I think the texture/flavor would turn out different. If you do end up giving it a try, let me know how it goes. I will say, the orange sherbet really makes these flavor wise.
I was wondering if you could use orange jello instead of unflavored?
You totally can!
How do i get the jello to come out the cups with out sticking?
Hi Sel, do you mean to eat it? It is jello so it will be sticky. When we eat Jello shots we typically crush it a little and then pour into our mouths or use mini spoons to eat them. If you want to try it, you can try spraying a little bit of non-stick cooking spray into the plastic cups before pouring the jello in. However, I’ve never done this and I am not sure if it’ll affect the taste/texture of the jello shots.
@Sel, I always spray my cups with nonstick spray. No complaints yet
What measurement is 2 scoops. I know my scoop is much different than my husbands.😉
2 scoops is just using a traditional ice cream scooper 🙂
How much is 2 scoops of Sherbet? While I’m waiting for the gelatin to cool I tasted the RumChata and Sherbet mix and it tastes more like the cinnamon from the RumChata.

@Noelle, I agree I didn’t care for the cinnamon taste either. I used 7/8 cup of vanilla vodka and 1/8 cp of heavy whipping cream. Tasted great
Do you have to do the freezer step? Or can you go straight to the fridge if storing for a couple of days?
I’ve never tried to keep these in the fridge for a few days but I am sure that would work. 🙂
@Nichole,
When I make Jello Shots I’ve usually put them on a cookie sheet & stacked them (2-3 containers high– if using the cups with lids,) on the shelves in my refrigerator. (This is also because my freezer usually doesn’t have as much shelf space.) It is usually best when chilled overnight.
How far ahead can you make these and how should you store them… refrigerator or freezer?
You can totally make these 2-3 days ahead of time and I always put in the fridge. 🙂
@Brittanie, thank you!
@Jennifer, the cups should have lids. I put mine in a container. And I have also put them in my veg drawer.
Is one package of gelatin all 4 pouches in the box or just one pouch??
Just one pouch 🙂
