Don’t forget the ice cream!
I used these small portion cups that I found at Hobby Lobby. These are bit wider than shot glasses. Click here for more mini-desserts you can serve in shot glasses.
I bought regular size and mini Swedish Fish so I could have mommies and babies. If you can find gummy sharks, those would look awesome in this recipe, too, especially for Shark Week on Discovery Channel.
Make jello with 1 cup boiling water.
Add vanilla ice cream to jello while it is still hot. Ice cream cream will dissolve. Mix in well.
Pour into individual servings. You could also use wide regular plastic cups or small dessert bowls for a larger size dessert.
Add graham cracker crumbs for sand and a fish or two. Note: the color of the fish bleeds when these desserts sit for more than a few hours, so if making the night before, do not add fish until right before serving.
Serve! What a fun dessert.
