My experiments with alcoholic desserts are completely limited to gelatin and the odd chocolate martini, so it seemed a bit of a wild and exciting quest. I had never heard of, much less consumed, a pudding shot before. But on concept alone what could be more fun? My first question was, should a pudding shot be solid or pudding-y? I found several recipes on the internet, and the overwhelming sentiment appeared to be that a pudding shot should indeed (and not surprisingly) have the consistency of pudding. Makes sense, but as a researcher, one must leave no stone unturned. Flavors were the next consideration. It wasn’t so much coming up with a palatable combination, it was picking just one to feature in this post. While I finally decided on Cookies & Cream, there were so many contenders. To name a few from the chocolate family: banana, orange, raspberry, coffee and hazelnut. Pistachio pudding with a white chocolate liqueur sounded quite promising as well. And vanilla with any fruit liqueur, or even amaretto, would be fantastic. Really, the combinations are endless – you are limited only by the contents of your liquor cabinet! The pudding shot recipe, which is based on instant pudding, couldn’t be easier. Just mix the pudding with milk, add your liquors, and pour into your serving containers! The spiked pudding sets in an hour. Before serving, garnish with a little whip and enjoy!
