Eggnog Pudding Shots

Homemade Pudding Shots

Eggnog is great on its own, but when you mix in pudding, alcohol, and whipped topping you have something dangerously delicious.

These Eggnog Pudding Shots are one of those quick and easy recipes that we always like to whip up for the holidays, especially for the drinkers in the family.

Not only are they fun, but they’re also a good talking piece as well. They’re served in shot glasses and perfect for parties!

I love quick and easy recipes and these Eggnog Pudding Shots are just that, they are done from start to finish in 40 minutes! Now that is a recipe I can handle, plus you can make as many as you like, because trust me, these go down fast.

Ingredients For Pudding Shots

With only four ingredients in this recipe, and ones that are easily available at your grocer and liquor store you won’t have a hard time with this.

The four main components of these include:

• Vanilla Pudding – the creamy base that helps hold all of the ingredients together. Make sure you use instant pudding and not cook and serve!
• Eggnog – Just like any other pudding recipe you want a cold liquid to give it some extra flavor.
• Spiced Rum – Cold spiced rum is added to give it the spiked eggnog flavor and that added zip of alcohol.
• Whipped Topping – This brings all those ingredients together to make it smooth and creamy and absolutely the perfect texture.

How To Make Eggnog Pudding Shots

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, eggnog, and rum for 2 minutes.

2. Add in the thawed cool whip and whisk until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes.

3. Spoon the pudding mixture into 1-ounce shot cups or 2oz. condiment cups with lids with a medium cookie scoop and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can! These can be made up to a week in advance and stored in these condiment cups and then placed in the refrigerator.

Can these be frozen?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze these, just do not fill the condiment cups all the way to the top as they will need room to expand. Make the recipe as directed and place it in the freezer and they should last for up to 2 months.

Do I have to use vanilla pudding?

No, you can use any pudding that you like, we also like to use cheesecake pudding for these. Chocolate, french vanilla, and white chocolate would also be great substitutes.

How To Serve Eggnog Pudding Shots

These Pudding Shots are great on their own but some optional garnishes could include:

• Dash of cinnamon
• Sprinkle of nutmeg
• Swirl of whipped cream
• Half a cinnamon stick
• Sprinkles

However, you want to decorate these or not is always a good personal choice and a great way to make them your own.
