Eggnog Pudding Shots Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is the best alcohol to mix with eggnog? ›

While brandy is the most traditional alcohol to pair with eggnog, according to traditional recipes, you can also use a mixture of dark rum and Cognac. If you like your eggnog with more of a kick you can also add bourbon, but we recommend sticking to rum and Cognac to preserve the 'nog's flavors.

Whisk milk, Irish cream liqueur, vodka, and instant pudding mix together in a bowl until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Spoon the pudding mixture into shot glasses or disposable party shot cups. Chill until set, about 30 minutes. The shots will have the consistency of mousse.

Remember when using any alcohol that is more than 80 proof can make your pudding shots runny. Most vodkas run at 80 proof and that is usually the highest alcohol content booze I use so you should be fine. But always good to check. Don't skip the Cool Whip.

Pudding shots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. However, the alcohol might make the pudding less coagulated over time, so it is best to consume them within a week or two of making them. You might have to give it a stir before serving – which would ruin the layers.

Though rare, there is the potential that eggnog will curdle when it's mixed with alcohol. That's typically due to too much acid interacting with the dairy. This can come from high-proof liquor or milk that's either lower in fat or going sour. For the best eggnog, use fresh, preferably whole, milk.

Why Are My Pudding Shots So Runny? If you make pudding shots with a liquor that is around 80-proof, the higher alcohol content may prevent the pudding from setting up properly. If that's the case, add in 8 ounces of whipped cream or cream topping before chilling.

Puddings made for dessert can be boiled and steamed puddings, baked puddings, bread puddings, batter puddings, milk puddings or even jellies. In some Commonwealth countries these puddings are known as custards (or curds) if they are egg-thickened, as blancmange if starch-thickened, and as jelly if gelatin-based.

It typically contains milk or cream, although there are non-dairy puddings made with plant-based "milk." Pudding is similar to custard in that they both can contain eggs and milk, but pudding is usually thickened with a starch, whereas custard is thickened by the eggs.

How do you eat pudding shots? Depending on how much Cool Whip you add to the recipe, the consistency will be a thicker or thinner pudding. Thicker pudding shots can be served with small spoons to scoop it out and thinner pudding shots can be tipped and drunk straight into your mouth.

Can you put pudding shots in syringes? ›

Pour cold milk into a medium mixing bowl. Pour in pudding mix and whisk while slowly drizzling in the cold beer. Whisk 2 minutes or until thickened and smooth. Suck up pudding into each syringe (alternatively spoon into serving bowls), cap, and place in fridge for 5 minutes or until set.

Their key takeaways: A standard recipe made with 3 ounces of Jell-O powder calls for 5 ounces of 80-proof vodka and 11 ounces of water, but this results in a shot that tastes watered-down. To make a stronger shot, use just 4 ounces of water and between 8 and 14 ounces of vodka (to taste)

If you make the basic Jell-O shot with a single 80-proof liquor, the alcohol content comes out to be about 12 percent ABV (24 proof). That's equivalent to the average wine. While a couple of 1-ounce shots may not get you drunk, overindulging on these shots can happen more quickly than you might expect.

Jello shots will last in the fridge for 3-5 days so you can make them in advance for your party. After that, they may lose their flavor and the consistency of the shot will start to change.

Eggnog is the holiday sludge that some people can't live without and others can't stand. It's a mixture of milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and whipped egg whites. For those of legal drinking age, the beverage tastes even better with a splash of alcohol.

Egg-cellent Eggnog Tips

Rum – I like dark rum in eggnog (Myers's is what I usually buy), but spiced rum would also be fabulous. Whiskey – I typically use Crown Royal, but use what you like or keep on hand.

Can I mix volka with eggnog? Assuming you mean vodka, sure. Personally I'd suggest adding dark rum or bourbon or brandy to your eggnog - spirits that add flavor as well as 'punch' - but vodka works just fine.
