How far in advance can I make Christmas Chocolate Kahlua & Baileys Pudding Shots?

You can prepare these delicious pudding shots up to 2-3 days ahead of your event. Keep them covered and refrigerated until you're ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully and saving you time on party day.

What's the best way to serve these boozy pudding shots for a party?

For elegant serving, use small shot glasses and provide mini spoons. Before serving, garnish generously with festive Christmas sprinkles or a dollop of extra whipped topping to enhance their visual appeal and make them extra special for your guests.

Can I adjust the alcohol content in these pudding shots?

Yes, you can easily modify the alcohol content to suit your preference. For a less potent shot, reduce the Kahlua and Baileys by half and replace the liquid volume with additional milk. For a stronger shot, you can slightly increase the liqueurs, but be careful not to make the pudding too thin or it won't set properly.

What are some fun variations for these Christmas pudding shots?

Get creative! You can add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder for a mocha twist, swap Baileys for Peppermint Baileys for a minty kick, or use different flavored liqueurs. For toppings, consider chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or mini chocolate chips in addition to sprinkles.

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the instant chocolate pudding mix and the cold milk. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 2: Stir in the Kahlua coffee liqueur and Baileys Irish Cream until fully incorporated. The mixture will thin out slightly.
Step 3: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no white streaks remain and the mixture is smooth and consistent.
Step 4: Carefully spoon or pipe the pudding mixture into small plastic shot glasses or decorative mini cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
Step 5: Place the filled shot glasses on a tray and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set completely and the flavors to meld.
Step 6: Just before serving, garnish each pudding shot generously with festive Christmas sprinkles. Serve chilled with mini spoons.

Notes

For best results, ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed but still cold before folding it in. You can also add a dollop of fresh whipped cream before serving for extra indulgence. Adjust the amount of Kahlua and Baileys to your taste, adding more for a stronger kick or less for a milder flavor.
