Creamsicle Vodka Jello Rollups


  • 1 box (3 oz) orange-flavored gelatin (e.g., Jell-O)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup vodka (optional, omit for a non-alcoholic version)

For the Vanilla Layer:

  • 1 box (3 oz) unflavored gelatin (or vanilla-flavored gelatin)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup vodka (optional, omit for a non-alcoholic version)

Optional Garnish:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh orange zest

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Orange Layer

  1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 cup vodka (if using).
  3. Pour the mixture onto a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
  4. Refrigerate for 30–40 minutes, or until set but still slightly soft.

2. Prepare the Vanilla Layer

  1. In another mixing bowl, dissolve the unflavored gelatin (or vanilla gelatin) in 1 cup of boiling water.
  2. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup vodka (if using) until smooth.
  3. Once the orange layer is set, pour the vanilla mixture evenly over the top.
  4. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until fully set.

3. Cut and Roll

  1. Once the jello is completely firm, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into long strips (about 1–2 inches wide).
  2. Carefully roll each strip into a spiral shape, starting from one end.
  3. Place the rollups on a plate or tray.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Dust with powdered sugar or garnish with whipped cream and fresh orange zest if desired.
  2. Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly!

Tips for Success

  • Use a Non-Stick Surface: Line the baking dish with plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Swap orange gelatin for lemon, lime, or strawberry for a different twist.
  • Non-Alcoholic Option: Omit the vodka entirely for a kid-friendly version.
  • Make Ahead: These rollups can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
