Growing up, I had mixed feelings about jello. I'm not sure if I ever really liked it or not. However, this adult dessert totally hits the spot. Best of all, it's cruelty-free! You can find plant-based jel desserts in most natural foods stores. The cherry / pinot noir combo tastes great but feel free to play around with different flavors of jello and types of wine. A great resource for finding vegan wine (and other booze) is barnivore.
For wine jello shots, double the recipe and pour into shot glasses or other small cups.
Ingredients:
3 oz. package cherry jel dessert, such as Natural Desserts brand
1 cup water
1 cup pinot noir
Directions:
Pour the jel powder into mixing bowl, preferably one with a pour spout. Add the boiling water to the jel powder and stir until powder is dissolved. Add the wine and mix well. Pour evenly into 4 wine glasses. Chill in the refrigerator until set.
