How to Make Grasshopper Pudding Shots
Just three simple steps to make this delicious St. Patrick’s Day dessert shot. This is a brief overview of just how easy this recipe is to make. For the full recipe, see the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
- Mix ingredients. Whisk together all ingredients and chill.
- Prepare the shot glasses. Line shot glasses with chocolate and freeze.
- Serve and garnish. Add pudding mixture to prepared glasses and top with whipped cream.
How to Serve
Since these are chilled pudding shots, you should keep them cool until you are ready to serve them. These dessert shooters would be delicious if served alone as just the pudding mixture. However, they will taste and look even better with these fun additions:
- Prepare shot glasses: A little chocolate swirl goes a long way! Prepare your empty shot glasses with chocolate drizzle and put them in the freezer for five minutes before adding the pudding mixture for a cool and tasty treat. See our recommendation for chocolate below.
- Turn the shots green: These shots will be yellow when following the recipe as written. To turn them a festive green as seen here, add a few drops of blue food coloring to the pudding mixture.
- Garnish with sweet treats: Garnish with whipped cream for a sweet topper, and add an Andes Mint for an extra chocolate-mint touch. Stick a mint leaf into the whipped cream of each shot for a fresh mint bonus!
