Tips & Tricks

Try using a piping bag or a medium cookie scoop for a quick and easy way to fill your pudding cups with no mess.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice or put some graham cracker crumbs on top of the whipped cream for even more pumpkin pie flavor.
If you don’t have RumChata, you could also use Bailey’s Irish Cream, pumpkin spice liqueur, or white chocolate liqueur in this recipe. Pinnacle even makes a pumpkin pie vodka that would be delicious in these shots.
Feel free to try out different flavors of pudding mix – vanilla, banana, or butterscotch pudding would all be delicious.
You can find the plastic shot glasses at most grocery stores, Party City or on Amazon.
For an extra fancy presentation, try serving these in real shot glasses or mini mason jars instead of plastic shot cups and add a cinnamon sugar rim.

Can I Make Pumpkin Pie Shots in Advance?

These shots are super easy to whip up whenever you need them, but you can make them a couple days in advance if you need to. They’ll keep in the fridge for a day or two with lids or covered with plastic wrap. Just be sure to wait until you are ready to serve before adding the whipped cream on top.
