Tips & Tricks

If you prefer chocolate flavor, you can substitute chocolate pudding mix for the vanilla.
Try using a piping bag to fill your shot cups easily with no mess.
For a fancier presentation, you can serve these in regular shot glasses instead of plastic cups and add some tiny spoons.
Tempting as it may be, resist the urge to add too much alcohol. This could change the consistency of your shots, making them too thin.

How Do I Store Mudslide Pudding Shots?

Keep them covered with lids or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for up to two months.

What if My Shots Are Runny?

They may look runny right after you mix in the alcohol, but they should thicken up as you add the Cool Whip and put them in the fridge to chill. You can also pop them in the freezer for a few minutes to thicken faster.
