Ingredients

Servings: About 10


White Layer

  • 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

Pumpkin Layer

  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) cold water, divided
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1/3 cup canned pumpkin pie mix
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) spiced rum
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, chilled

Topping

  • 2 sheets of graham crackers, crushed

Method 1 of 3: Make the white layer

Don't allow the white layer to set for too long before you add the pumpkin layer. If you wait too long, then the layers will not bond together.

    Refrigerate the shot glasses for 4 hours or overnight.

Method 3 of 3: Add the graham cracker topping

The graham crackers should be added just before you serve the shot. This will ensure that the water from the gelatin doesn’t make the topping soggy.
