A Fun Party Twist On The Classic Dessert!

Banana Split Pudding Shots are super light and creamy, making them very similar to a mousse! Pair their dreamy texture with all of their delicious banana flavor and you’ve got lots of shots that go down easy!

Banana dessert recipes are some of my favorites! So it only made sense to come up with a shots recipe that could double as dessert too.

In just over an hour you’ll have two dozen boozy sweet treats to share with friends using easy ingredients and fun toppings!

Ingredients For Banana Split Pudding Shots

For this recipe, you’ll first need a box of instant vanilla pudding mix. Make sure to grab the instant pudding mix as cook & serve will not work in these shots!

The pudding mix will then be combined with whole milk, your favorite banana liqueur, and cool whip. From there the shots will chill and then you can top them with delicious banana split toppings!

Yummy Banana Split Toppings!

I like to top my dessert shots with more whipped topping, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry. Feel free to mix it up and use any of your favorite banana split toppings, though!

You could add a banana slice, crushed peanuts, or even pineapple chunks!

How To Make Banana Split Pudding Shots

  1. Whisk the pudding mix, milk, and banana liqueur together.
  2. Stir in the whipped topping, mixing until smooth. Afterward, place the mixture in the fridge.
  3. Add a layer of pudding to the bottom of each cup. Then cover them with the tops and transfer them to the fridge to chill.
  4. Serve with a dollop of whipped topping, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry. Enjoy!

All of your pudding shots have been amazing!! Thanks for sharing

Storage Instructions For Banana Split Pudding Shots

Store Banana Split Pudding Shots in the fridge, covered. These shots will remain good for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can place them in the freezer to store for up to 3 months.

However, I would only suggest storing leftovers without the toppings.

Steps

  1. In a large bowl whisk together the pudding mix, milk, and banana liqueur for 2 minutes.

  2. Add 8 ounces of whipped topping and whisk until smooth. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes.

  3. Arrange plastic shot glasses on a small baking pan for easy transportation. Add 3 tablespoons of the pudding mixture to each cup. Cover with the tops then place them in the fridge for at least 1 hour to chill.

  4. When ready to serve, dollop or pipe the additional whipped topping on to each of the shots. Add chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry on top.

Notes

  • How Long Will Leftover Banana Split Pudding Shots Last? When stored in the refrigerator covered, these shots will remain good for up to 5 days. You could also freeze them for up to 3 months. However, I would only suggest storing leftovers without the toppings.
  • What If I Can’t Find Any Banana Liqueur For This Recipe? That’s ok! You can just use banana pudding mix in place of the vanilla. Then just add in your favorite rum or vodka in place of the liqueur.
  • How Can I Make These With Less Alcohol? You could go with just half of the banana liqueur and add the same amount of milk in its place. Or for more of a fun dessert with just a touch of alcohol only use 1/4th of the liqueur and the rest is milk.
  • How Do I Make Homemade Whipped Cream To Use In This Banana Split Dessert? Whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Then use half of the whipped cream in the mix and the other half for the topping.
