Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 3.4 oz Sonic Vanilla Shake Instant Pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake Liqueur
Toppings and Garnishes
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- A drop of green food coloring (optional)
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix pudding and milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Sonic Vanilla Shake Instant Pudding mix and whole milk until well combined.
- Add Baileys liqueur: Whisk in the Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake Liqueur thoroughly to blend the flavors.
- Thicken the mixture: Continue whisking the mixture for about 3 minutes, until it begins to thicken. If you prefer a stronger green color, add a drop of green food coloring at this stage; otherwise, it will have a pale green hue.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture to maintain its light texture.
- Whisk smooth: Whisk again until the pudding is smooth and creamy.
- Chill the pudding: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set slightly.
- Portion into shot glasses: Evenly divide the pudding mixture among shot glasses and refrigerate for an additional 3 hours to fully chill and firm up.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top each pudding shot with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for a festive presentation.
Notes
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Baileys liqueur with vanilla or mint-flavored milk or cream.
- For more intense green color, add more green food coloring in small increments to avoid overpowering the flavor.
- Use full-fat whole milk for best texture; low-fat versions may result in a thinner pudding.
- Prepare the pudding shots at least 4 hours ahead to ensure perfect chilling and texture.
- Store leftover pudding shots covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
