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!

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. I have been drooling over this since I first spotted it on facebook! Definitely going on my must-try list! Obsessed!

  2. I neeeed one of these now, but considering I’m at work and it’s 6 AM, it’ll have to wait until happy hour. Can I wait that long?!
    Your obsession with creamer is totally understandable. I travel with my own foodstuffs, too. It’s much more comfy that way!

  3. I’m having a feeling these would make Monday morning a whole lot easier. #justsaying
