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.

- Whipped Topping – This brings all those ingredients together to make it smooth and creamy and absolutely the perfect texture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
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.
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.
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
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.
