Equipment

mixing bowl, preferably with a spout to make pouring easier
small pot
20 2-ounce jello shot cups with lids
baking sheet or tray (optional)
Whisk
measuring cup
mixing spoon
20 mini tasting spoons (optional) - to make eating the jello shots easier

Ingredients

1 cup coconut milk
2 envelopes (¼-ounce each) unflavored gelatin
1 cup pineapple juice
¾ cup Malibu coconut rum

Instructions

Pour the coconut milk into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Set aside
Heat the pineapple juice until it is just boiling.
Add it to the coconut milk gelatin mixture and mix until all of the gelatin has dissolved. I find using a whisk works best for this.
Stir in the coconut rum.
Fill up each of the jello shot cups with the gelatin mixture.
Chill for 2 to 4 hours.

Notes

Using plastic shot cups with lids makes transporting and storing them very easy
Spreading the shot cups out on a cookie sheet catches any spills and makes them easy to transport to the fridge.
Let the gelatin mixture cool for a few minutes in the shot cups before putting the lids on. This will help to eliminate condensation from forming under the lids. While this doesn't affect the taste of the shots, they look better without it.
