The Great Drunken Pumpkin Shots

Pumpkin_2

  What’s better than pumpkin pie? Pumpkin pie with booze in it! This is an alcoholic spin on a traditional fall favorite that you can use throughout the holidays. You can pour the pumpkin mixture straight into cups, or use Keebler ready-to-use mini graham cracker crusts. You could even crush up some graham crackers and make mini crusts inside Jell-O shot cups. Because it has no eggs and little dairy, this recipe lacks some of the richness of regular pumpkin pie. We added some butterscotch schnapps to make up for that, and a dollop of whipped cream will do the rest.   Great Drunken Pumpkin Pie Jell-O Shots 8 Keebler mini graham cracker crusts 1 envelope Knox gelatin 1 cup water + 1/4 cup for later 1/3 cup canned pumpkin 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice ½ cup vodka ½ tbsp heavy cream 2 tbsp butterscotch schnapps Whipped cream topping     Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in saucepan and let sit a few minutes. Heat over low heat while stirring until the gelatin is dissolved. Add the pumpkin, sugar, and spice and continue stirring over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes. Combine liquors, ¼ cup water, and cream in a bowl. Whisk in the pumpkin mixture and pour into pie crusts or shot cups. Chill and serve with whipped cream.   Source:www.myscienceproject.org
