How to Make Blueberry Popping Boba Jello Shots:
- In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, add your blueberry gelatin powder.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

- Place a small spoonful of blueberry boba pearls into the bottom of each jello shot cup.
- Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the boba until the cups are nearly full.
- Transfer the cups to the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 4 hours, or until completely set.
- Before serving, you can optionally top with whipped cream, a few extra boba pearls, and fresh blueberries.
Pro Tips:
- Let the gelatin cool slightly before pouring it over the boba to prevent the pearls from losing their texture.
