Pink Squirrel, Grasshopper and Lemon Chiffon Martini Jelly Shots, made with vanilla bean or lemon ice cream, and dipped in chocolate Magic Shell
In keeping with the ice cream theme, I substituted vanilla bean ice cream and a little water for the milk/cream in the Grasshopper and Pink Squirrel recipes, and used lemon ice cream in my ad hoc creation, Lemon Chiffon.
The "popsicle sticks" (snipped from wooden coffee stirrers) would be a fun serving option for any dessert cocktail themed jelly shot. Imagine a Chocolate or White Chocolate Martini, Mudslide, or (mercy!) a Bushwacker!
Anyway, next week I pledge to hop off the Good Humor bandwagon and get back to the jelly shot drawing board. With that in mind, any suggestions? What are your favorite end of summer cocktails?
Cheers,
Michelle

I just love what you do with these jelly shots. Seriously, this is an art form!
I've just started reading your blog, and I find myself shaking my head in awe with each post I read! Your creations truly are amazing.
And, btw, if you ask me, you could stay on the Good Humor truck for as long as you want!!!
Um, you know Australia's just now gearing up for summer so you *could* go the ice cream route whenever you please... it's summer somewhere.
(My reason has been blinded by the cuteness and the "popsicle sticks")
Those look so adorable...! I have a weak-spot for jellies and ice creams, so those goodies are just the right thing for me ;).
i love these. i love this website, keep it up you juswt got bookmarked!
Love the photography and the concept but you never post the recipe so this site is utterly useless.
Thanks everyone! Helen I love your comment that it is always summer somewhere!
These look soooo cool! Love it!
Hi "Anonymous" - thanks for stopping by. You must be new to the site, and we regret that your first impression has been poor. While we would love to post every recipe, JSTK's contract with our publisher regarding content makes this impossible. We have posted a variety of recipes on the blog's Recipes tab, and just last week we posted a recipe for Watermelon Basil Martini Jelly Shot. Anyway, thanks again for visiting and hope to see you again sometime soon! Cheers, Michelle
What a great idea! These look gorgeous and perfect for summer. :)
Found your jelly shots on foodgawker, and they look great! However, you have another disappointed visitor to your site as it does not include a recipe. Just some feedback, I wouldn't likely return to your website if recipes are not included.
Hi baker, point taken. I am just thrilled when anyone takes the time visit my site and it utterly crushes me to disappoint them. For future Foodgawker submissions, will stick to posts with a recipe . . . thanks for the feedback and hope to see you again sometime! Cheers, Michelle
For what it's worth, I'd keep coming back to gaze at your jelly art (come on, it IS art) regardless of whether recipes ever appeared...
That said, eagerly awaiting the book!
This looks freakin awesome! Why am I only discovering your site now? *hooked*
