Hi all, are you ready for Independence Day? It's soon upon us. I am not even the slightest bit prepared. But I do have a fun recipe for the holiday! These Sugar Cookie Pudding Shots are not only patriotic - they are also creamy, and tiny and just darn good - the amaretto gives them just the right cookie-ish flavor.
And yes, I'm a sucker for a pudding shot - with the tiniest edge of alcohol-taste (otherwise I would just eat a pudding cup). If you prefer lower octane, swap out 1/4 cup of the vodka for more milk.
And yes, its been several million years since my last post. Count your lucky stars (pun intended) that this is a blog about jellies and alcohol-infused shenanigans, rather than my life, which these days is prime fodder for a B-movie, cautionary after-school special or a Lifetime network miniseries, but little else. It's been just about everything,FEMA-style. I'm just waiting for the locusts to show up.
I should mention also that this post is sponsored by our lovely new friends at Sobieski Vodka. We used their vanilla vodka in the following recipe. Sobieski sent two giant boxes of booze to try out (as well as groovy swag) so you'll be seeing their name. I'm quite impressed with Sobieski's flavored vodkas overall - the price point is ridiculous (in a good, low, highly affordable way), and it's good vodka.
Meeting adjourned. Happy Fourth. And talk soon.
XO, Michelle
Sugar Cookie Pudding Shots
Implements: shot glasses or other small recepticals
Yield: about 8 pudding shots, about 3 tbsp each
- 1 box (1.4 oz) white chocolate flavor instant pudding
- 1 cup cold milk (2%, 1%, skim – doesn’t matter)
- 3/4 cup vanilla vodka
- 2 tbsp amaretto liqueur
- 1/2 cup whipped topping (or whipped cream)
- Red and blue liquid food coloring
- Cookies or cute sprinkles for garnish, if desired
Pour the pudding mix in a medium bowl. Add the cold milk and
beat for 2 minutes. (Don’t scrimp on the beating, or your pudding shots won’t
set up and you’ll be emailing me 20 minutes before your party about what an
evil, wicked completely unreliable person I am.)
Add the vodka, a 1/4 cup at a time, combining completely
before each new addition. Stir in the amaretto and the whip.
Divide the pudding mixture equally into 3 bowls. Tint two of
the bowls with the red and blue food coloring, until the pudding reaches the
desired vibrancy. For me, it only took 4 drops of neon blue, but about 20 red.
Layer the colored puddings in tiny shot glasses or other
recepticals, as desired. I used these
shot glasses from Libby.

This will be absolutely perfect for my family get together on Wednesday! I love celebrating July 4th with them and this just seems like a fun patriotic and tasty way to celebrate with them.
Because of you my day just got a little bit more exciting!

These are soooo super cute. I'm totally going to try them. A recommendation for the coloring, to make it easier would be icing dye/color. I think the stuff I have is made by Wilton. If you have a JoAnns or Michaels near you they normally carry it. You literally need to dip a toothpick in the icing dye and add to the pudding. It removes adding the 20 drops of coloring. (potential for watering down the pudding)
I've also tried some recipes that call for white chocolate pudding and replaced it with cheesecake pudding. Its a little harder to find but it's a nice alternative.
I love that you used those stars on the top. Hope things get better for you... I have you blog book marked and use your stuff ALL the time for parties.

Having a heck of a time finding anyone that stocks the white chocolate pudding, would vanilla work?
I tried making these and they tasted delicious but when I added the alcohol, the pudding became very liquidy and never set. So, that made it impossible for me to layer the different colors of pudding. Any suggestions? Thank you!
