S’mores Pudding Shots Recipe

Supplies

• 1 oz plastic shooter cups
• Large bowl
• Hand mixer
• Measuring cups

Servings: 32

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Chill Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• Instant chocolate pudding mix – This is the rich, chocolatey base that gives the pudding shots their classic s’mores flavor and creamy texture.
• Cold milk – Cold milk helps the pudding set properly and keeps everything smooth and scoopable instead of soupy.
• Cool Whip – For that light, fluffy, mousse-like texture.
• Vodka (or fluffed marshmallow vodka for extra flavor!) – Adds the grown-up kick, with marshmallow vodka bringing extra campfire vibes without lighting anything on fire.
• Graham cracker crumbs – These add that unmistakable s’mores crunch and just the right hint of honey-sweet flavor.
• Mini marshmallow candies – All the marshmallow fun with none of the sticky fingers.
• Hershey bar, broken into pieces – Classic milk chocolate chunks that scream s’mores and melt slightly into the pudding for extra indulgence.
• Whipped topping – The final fluffy crown that makes each pudding shot look party-ready and totally irresistible.

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk. Beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes until thickened.

2. Add in vodka (or vanilla vodka for a white chocolate pudding variation) and mix for another 2 minutes.

3. Refrigerate for 5 minutes before folding in the Cool Whip to keep the texture light and creamy.

4. Fill the plastic cups with the pudding mixture.

5. Sprinkle the top of the pudding with graham cracker crumbs.

6. Top with a dollop of whipped topping, a few mini marshmallows, and a piece of chocolate.

7. Chill for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Try different flavor combinations. Swap out the vodka for chocolate vodka or Irish cream to add a rich chocolate depth to your pudding shots. You can even mix two liquors for a more complex flavor.
• These pudding shots store well in the fridge for up to 2 days, so make them ahead for stress-free summer parties. Just wait to add the toppings until right before serving to avoid soggy graham crackers.
• Want an extra fluffy texture? Fold in a cup of marshmallow fluff along with the Cool Whip to create marshmallow layers that mimic the classic gooey s’mores experience.
• If you’re taking these shots to a summer barbecue or camping trip, use plastic condiment cups with lids. They stack easily in a cooler, making transportation a breeze.
• If you love dark chocolate, use a dark chocolate pudding mix instead of regular instant chocolate pudding mix for a richer, more indulgent flavor.
