Pudding Shots

It’s Christmas time, which inevitably means Christmas parties right? I am telling you right now, if you are hosting (or attending) a Christmas party this year you MUST serve (or bring) these pudding shots! I don’t often demand things of you (just my husband), so you know these have to be fabulous!

Everyone is familiar with jello shots, but I don’t really care for jello so they aren’t my favorite. THESE, however, are my favorite! I got the recipe from a friend, who got the recipe from her neighbor. These are not only easy to make, but the pudding and alcohol flavors can be easily substituted. We most commonly make these with chocolate, and I recommend using plain chocolate pudding instead of devil’s food. Recently we also used cheesecake pudding with cherry vodka (in place of the Baileys), and the highlight of our recent party was butterscotch pudding with butterscotch schnapps (pictured above). There are so many possibilities! If you make these with different flavor combinations I’d love to hear about them. Enjoy!

    How do you know how much milk and alcohol you are to mix with the different types..thanks

    Great recipe and yes, trying different flavors makes it even more popular and fun! I just did butterscotch pudding with pumpkin pie liquer (a seasonal holiday product), topped with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice. Also a trick I tried and has been very successful is to use only 1/2 cup milk and a 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (guarantees that it will set)…

    With all the different flavors did you still use Baileys in them just with different flavor vodka or schnapps? or was there something else? Thank you.
