Baileys Shots with Pudding

Funny story: so when I’m on trips (either vacation or for work) I like to drink Baileys in my coffee…for breakfast. I mean, I’m not driving, so it’s really just a good creamer. A friend of mine always packs mini Baileys whenever she travels and we were at the hotel restaurant having breakfast and working (with our laptops, so really working, not just talking). I poured some of the Baileys into my coffee and happened to catch the eye of another patron across the restaurant…from her look it would seem not everyone thinks to travel with mini Baileys bottles. YOU’RE WELCOME INTERNET.

Baileys Pudding Shots are an easy cocktail that makes pudding drinkable with the help of Baileys Irish Cream!

Ingredients Needed

  • Pudding (either prepared by you from a box or you can use the little cups you steal from your kids’ lunch stash)
  • Milk and/or Baileys – you can make these as strong as you want: stronger, don’t use milk. Weaker, water it down with milk.

You can also make these into mocktail Pudding Shots by skipping the baileys and using milk. Add a teeny tiny drop of mint extract for that minty (Irish) flavor.

How to make Baileys Shots

  • Place sytup shallow plate and green sanding sugar on another. Dip each Shot Glass upside down in the corn syrup then in the sugar.
  • Place pudding, milk, and Baileys in a two cup measuring cup or shaker. Whisk until combined. Pour into shot glasses.

Tip From Dorothy

Expert Tips

  • Either make your pudding from a box of instant chocolate pudding (make according to the directions on the box) or buy the prepared pudding cups.
  • It’s best to use cows milk if you’re using powdered mix – otherwise the pudding mix might not set up properly. Any nondairy milk can be used to thin prepared pudding cups.
  • You can use any flavor pudding you like.

  5. The great thing about blogging is that you love it. I feel the same way! It’s almost like an addiction to see what I can come up with next. I also love the way that I am inspired and educated by women from all over the country and I can create relationships with women who have no idea what I look like. Your baileys looks amazing, but I adore you for the work that you do for your love of blogging.

  6. These look SO good, Dorothy!! They will definitely be on the menu for St. Patrick’s Day. I know it’s supposed to be green everything on 3/17, but I would love a little pink thrown in! I began blogging 7 months ago and love every second of it. It’s more work than I imagined, too, but I’ve never been happier! Learning so much along the way is icing on the cakes we bake. 😉
