Notes

  1. This recipe has not been tested with sugar-free pudding or cook and serve pudding.
  2. Generally, I make my pudding shots with equal parts milk and alcohol. Peppermint schnapps is a liqueur and usually doesn't have high alcohol content. If you want to make these stronger you could do 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 cup peppermint schnapps, in which case I highly recommend adding peppermint extract to bring out the flavor.
  3. The coffee extract gives this recipe a peppermint mocha flavor, however, it can be omitted and replaced with extra peppermint or even vanilla extract. You could also do half coffee liqueur and half peppermint in the recipe.
  4. The peppermint extract is optional, you will get some peppermint from the schnapps but if you want it stronger, I recommend adding some. If you cut the peppermint schnapps back, then definitely add more extract for flavor.
  5. For a thicker pudding texture, you can use a half tub of cool whip instead of a full one.
