Christmas Chocolate Kahlúa & Baileys Pudding Shots

Instructions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix, cold milk, Baileys, and Kahlúa until smooth and slightly thickened.
2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
3. Spoon or pipe the pudding mixture into small plastic shot cups or mini dessert glasses.
4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until set.
5. Just before serving, garnish with crushed candy canes, chocolate shavings, or festive sprinkles.

Variations:

• Extra chocolatey: Stir in a tablespoon of cocoa powder with the pudding mix for a richer flavor.
• Peppermint twist: Add a splash of peppermint schnapps and garnish with crushed candy canes.
• Nutty holiday vibe: Replace Kahlúa with hazelnut liqueur (like Frangelico).
• Non-alcoholic option: Substitute the Baileys and Kahlúa with flavored coffee creamers for a kid-friendly version.

Tips:

• For the fluffiest texture, don’t overmix the whipped topping—fold it in gently.
• Use piping bags or zip-top bags to neatly fill the cups without mess.
• These shots can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the fridge until serving.
• If you’re hosting a large gathering, double the recipe—these disappear quickly!

Festive, creamy, and full of holiday spirit, these Christmas Chocolate Kahlúa & Baileys Pudding Shots are guaranteed to be the hit of your Christmas party.
