Notes

  1. Recipe Variations:
    • RumChata - Combine RumChata with vanilla or French Vanilla Pudding to highlight its cinnamon flavor.
    • Birthday Cake - Says “happy birthday” with birthday cake vodka and vanilla or White Chocolate Pudding — and don’t forget the rainbow sprinkles!
    • Cheesecake - Use Cheesecake Pudding and vanilla Schnapps, then top with graham cracker crumbles and a few fresh berries. 
    • Chocolate - Always a classic! Chocolate pudding and chocolate liqueur (I love Godiva).
    • Irish Cream - Vanilla pudding and Irish Cream Liqueur make this the perfect treat for St. Paddy’s Day!
    • Mint Chocolate - Use chocolate pudding and peppermint schnapps to make a sweet minty concoction!
    • White Russian - Use vanilla or chocolate pudding and use a mix of Kahlua and Vodka in the mix! You could also use straight up Kahlua!
    • Banana Cream Pie - Use Banana Cream Pudding and banana cream liqueur. Then top with whipped cream and crushed nilla wafers!
    • Spiked Caramel Macchiato - Use Caramel Pudding and Kahlua or Espresso Liqueur
    • Boozy Pumpkin Pie - This Pumpkin Pie Pudding would be delicious when paired with pumpkin Kahlua or maybe even Bourbon.
  2. For a lighter mousse-like texture, you can use a full tub of cool whip instead of half.
  3. This recipe has not been tested with sugar-free pudding.
