Chocolate Pudding Shots are the perfect chocolatey, boozy treat that will be a huge hit at any party!
It’s like I always say, everything is better with chocolate. The truth still stands with these creamy pudding shots.
Pudding shots are a lot like jello shots only instead of jello, you use pudding mixture as the base.
These alcoholic pudding shots are easy to make and require just a few minutes of prep time. You can serve these up at parties, holidays and really, any time of the year.
How to Make Chocolate Pudding Shots
Ingredients:
- Cream Cheese – softened
- Heavy Cream – whipped
- Vanilla
- Powdered Sugar
- Cocoa
- Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- Cold Milk
- Rum Chata
- Chocolate Sprinkles or Chocolate Shavings
- Reddi-Whip Whipped Cream
Directions:
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place the heavy cream and whip until it becomes thick and stiff peaks form.
Remove and transfer to a small bowl, and place in the refrigerator.
Place the softened cream cheese in the mixing bowl and add the vanilla, powdered sugar, and cocoa and mix until smooth and fluffy. Scrape bowl as needed.
Add the pudding mix, and 1 cup of milk and blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the Rum Chata and blend.
Add the Whipped cream and mix on low just to blend.
Fill plastic shot cups with the chocolate pudding mixture and place on a tray or cookie sheet.
Place in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate mixture to thicken and set. About 2 hours.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and Chocolate Sprinkles.
Serve and Enjoy!
Things to Note:
- You can top with extra creamy cool whip instead of the whipped cream if you prefer.
- I used 2 oz. plastic pudding cups and you can get the ones with lids if you plan to transport them.
- These can be made ahead of time and placed into the fridge 1-2 days before your event. Wait to add the whipped cream and sprinkles until right before serving or they will melt.
- You can use your choice of instant pudding. I really like Jell-O brand or Ghirardelli.
- If you don’t like RUm Chata, you can use any chocolate liqueur instead.
- You can also make these for the holiday season and make them hot cocoa pudding shots and use mini marshmallow bits on top instead of the sprinkles.
- You can find tiny plastic spoons to allow guests to scoop out the boozy pudding.
