Servings: 12 2-Ounce Shots
Calories: 178kcal
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- 1 cup Half and Half
- 1 cup Pina Colada Mix
- ½ cup White Rum
- Whipped Cream for garnish (optional)
- Maraschino Cherries (optional)
- Toasted Coconut (optional)
- Pineapple Chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Place the pudding in a bowl and add the half and half, pina colada mix, and rum.
- Whisk until mixture is thickened.
- Fill up your pudding cups with the mixture. I used a frosting bag and tip at first, but then I moved to just using a spoon. It was much easier, quicker, and less messy with the spoon.
- At this point, you can either chill the shots for an hour and then garnish them before serving. Or, you can garnish and serve them immediately. This is totally up to you. Either way, enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
If covered, these can store for about 4 days in the fridge.
Tips:
- I think the shots taste better chilled. However, if you use cold liquids to make the mixture in the first place, it will remain cold enough to serve immediately, if desired.
- Do not garnish these shots before you chill them. If you make them ahead, just be sure to garnish them after they come out of the fridge, for best results.
- I like serving these shots with small spoons. It makes them easier to eat and is less messy than dumping them in your mouth!
- Do not go over the given liquid amounts. If you do, this can make the mixture too thin.
