How fun are these Unicorn Jello Shots? Raspberry Jello with Bubble Gum Vodka and homemade whipping cream makes a pretty delicious treat for the grown-ups.

After we made our Mermaid Jello Shots we just had to keep going! These are layered with pink and white jello and flavored with a fun bubble gum vodka. I think these would be so much fun for a 21st or 30th birthday party. Who says kids are the only ones that love unicorns?

Unicorn Jello Shots

Jello shots are such a fun treat to make for the grown-ups. We chose the bubble gum flavor to match the fun, playful unicorn theme. However, you can choose any flavor of vodka. I think raspberry or strawberry would go great, too!

Making Jello Shots

These are not a quick recipe you can make last minute. They do take a bit of time to chill in between each layer. The pink layers take only half an hour to harden, but the white layers each can take up to two hours since there is sweetened condensed milk in them.

But trust me, the time it takes is well worth it!

Making the Unicorn Horn and Ears

These unicorn ears are made from hand cut pieces of pink and white fondant. They are simpler to make than you might think, but do take some time.

If you want a faster hack, you can grab this set of unicorn cupcake toppers which are edible horns and ears.

The homemade whipped cream is so tasty, but you can cut another corner here and use store-bought if you are pressed for time or just want a simpler choice.

Everyone that sees these unicorn jello shots are going to be so impressed with your skills!
