Dalgona coffee is all the rage right now so I thought, let me try to turn that into a jello shot! This coffee trend is all over social media and since I love coffee I had to try it! Have you tried dalgona coffee yet? I was skeptical but then I tried it and it’s actually really good!
What is Dalgona Coffee?
Dalgona coffee is a whipped coffee that you make with instant coffee, sugar and a little water. After you whip it up you put the coffee over milk and drink it up! The flavor is quite strong, but the addition of the sugar and milk help cut it. I’ve seen this recipe made several different ways, including adding Bailys or Kahlua to the milk! I’ve even seen recipes that make it with matcha tea! With all these variations of course I realized I could turn it into a shot, too!
So this is the first time I’ve made jello shots using coffee and I have to say, they turned out way better than I expected! Usually I try to stick to fruity types of flavors for my shots, but this opens up a whole new window of opportunity! These shots use coffee and kahlua for the base with the dalgona coffee as a topping. As always, be sure to let the knox gelatin bloom before adding the hot ingredients to your mixture!
Fair warning- these shots are STRONG! The coffee taste is very strong, so don’t skip out on the sugar! Scroll down to the notes section of the recipe for some ideas on making the shots a little less strong! If you don’t like coffee I would probably recommend skipping these shots and choosing another cocktail flavored shot instead!
These coffee gelatin shots feature Kahlua and topped with delicious dalgona coffee! These shots are strong as far as coffee flavor goes! If you prefer a less strong coffee flavor you could try adding a cream layer to the jello shot base. Make the shots as directed, except spread them over 20-24 shot cups instead of 12. Let the first layer set. Then make white Russian shots using 1 cup cream (or half and half), 1 cup Kahlua and 1 packet of knox.
