Hot Chocolate Pudding Shots Recipe

A pudding shot is when alcohol (or any other drink) is mixed with a pudding mix and served in a shot glass. Hot cocoa pudding shots are very similar to regular pudding shots, except they use hot cocoa mix in tandem with the pudding.

This makes for a unique hot chocolate flavor that pairs well with different types of alcohol, as well as other toppings such as marshmallows or peppermint. These are also often called christmas pudding shots as they can be infused with all sorts of fun winter flavors.

You can serve these boozy hot chocolate shots in disposable shot glasses. You can also serve them in condiment cups, but they are pretty small.

As with any alcoholic beverage, there is always the potential for intoxication. There are many factors that influence how your body processes alcohol, so one cannot really say how many servings of a particular drink it would take to make you drunk.

How to Make Hot Cocoa Pudding Cups Without Alcohol

You can use nearly any drink to make hot cocoa pudding cups, however, you should keep in mind the drinks flavor.

For instance, you could use a basic liquid such as milk or water, however, that might dilute the flavor of the pudding cup rather than add to it. You could also use a non-alcoholic variant of a favored drink as well.

Depending on the drink, you may need to add more or less whipped cream to the recipe, so keep that in mind before you start making your hot cocoa pudding cups.

To make these hot cocoa pudding shots nonalcoholic, simply replace the alcohol with milk or water.
