Sweet Cream Shooter - this is the perfect after dinner drink recipe! Only 3 ingredients it's great for dessert!


Dessert Shots with Whipped Cream

So, you might remember that I have a slight obsession with coffee creamer. Milk in coffee is boring – I need my coffee creamer and I need it in every cup! My favorite flavor of creamer is Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer. I always have an open one in my refrigerator and an extra in the garage just in case I run out. I cannot run out. My day would be ruined, I’m not joking.

It was only a matter of time before I figured out how to use my favorite coffee creamer in a dessert cocktail. Because a dessert cocktail just means you get to have dessert twice: I should know, I’ve made sugar cookie martinis!

bottles of Kahlua, vanilla vodka, and coffee creamer.

4 Ingredients Needed

  • Kahlua – this rum and coffee liqueur is the perfect after dinner drink – skip the actual coffee and have this instead.
  • Vanilla Vodka – If you can’t find vanilla, you can use whipped, or add some vanilla extract.
  • Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer – You can also use half and half or cream, and add some vanilla extract.
  • Whipped Cream – to make these shots with whipped cream!

Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!

How to make Coffee Shots

  1. You want your ingredients cold – then just add the Kahlua and vodka to a shot glass, stir, and top with creamer.
  2. If your ingredients aren’t cold – add them to a shaker with ice, then shake and strain into glass.
  3. Top the shots with whipped cream!

  1. Was looking to bring something different to my family’s Thanksgiving dinner, other then my sweet glazed carrots and Watergate salad. And came across this recipe and am so glad I did. It’s like a Holiday in a shot. Thank you this is what I’m bringing.

  2. I appreciate with your article writing,here its my first visit and i found a great information here.

  3. So I’m not a drinker, have never been a drinker, but these look so fancy and yummy! Is there any way to make this or something similar to this without alcohol?
