- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup spiced rum
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee
Toppings
- 8 oz tub Cool Whip
- Chocolate whipped cream (for garnish)
- Chocolate cake sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Liquids and Pudding Mix: In a medium bowl, add the milk, spiced rum, instant coffee, and chocolate instant pudding mix. This combination forms the base flavor and texture of your pudding shots.
- Whisk Ingredients Together: Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it is smooth and well combined, ensuring the pudding mix starts to thicken evenly.
- Incorporate Cool Whip: Gradually add the Cool Whip to the pudding mixture a little at a time, folding gently to maintain a light, creamy texture.
- Combine Whip and Pudding: Whisk or fold the Cool Whip fully into the pudding mixture until you achieve a fluffy, uniform consistency without lumps.
- Portion into Shot Glasses: Spoon the creamy pudding mixture into disposable shot glasses, filling each about three-quarters full for easy serving and presentation.
- Freeze to Set: Place the filled shot glasses in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding shots to firm up and chill perfectly.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top each pudding shot with a dollop of chocolate whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate cake sprinkles for a festive and decadent finish.
Notes
- Use disposable shot glasses for easy cleanup and convenient serving at parties.
- Chill the pudding shots for at least 2 hours to ensure proper setting and best texture.
- Adjust the amount of spiced rum if you prefer a stronger or milder alcoholic flavor.
- The instant coffee enhances the mocha flavor but can be omitted or substituted with espresso powder for a sharper taste.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
