Tips on Making Creamy Vanilla Pudding Shots

Enjoy these simple, creamy alcoholic shots with delicious snacks on the side. They are easy to make! And with some of our helpful tips and fun variations, you can make them even more enjoyable to eat.

Use less milk for a thicker pudding consistency. Add as little as possible, around ¾ cup to ½ cup of milk. Also, avoid using non-dairy or soy milk since it doesn’t mix well with the instant pudding.

Use a small cookie scoop or piping bag for easy transferring. It’s more convenient to use these instead of a spoon. A small cookie scoop or piping bag will ensure that you evenly distribute the mixture into the shot glasses.

Use condiment containers with lids or plastic shot cups as an alternative to shot glasses. Make sure that these small containers come with a lid since these pudding shots need to be refrigerated before serving. These small condiment containers are also helpful when serving them at a gathering.

Top it off with a few extra garnishes. Be creative with your pudding shots and add ons by including some decorative garnishes, like extra whipped cream on top. You can even add in mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even mint sprigs.
