Made with Skrewball peanut butter whiskey and instant chocolate pudding mix, this pudding shots recipe is super easy to make. A light and fluffy adult treat that’s perfect for any party.

peanut butter chocolate pudding shots

I recently discovered peanut butter whiskey.

When I first heard about it, I didn’t think I would like it (I’m not a big peanut butter person).

But then I made this peanut butter cup cocktail.

Which is amazing! And has quickly become my favorite cocktail.

So I decided to make a shot out of it.

And mixing it with chocolate pudding seemed like the thing to do.

Guess what? The pudding shot is amazing, too!

I have to admit that it doesn’t have a strong peanut butter taste.

But it’s a light, fluffy, and creamy shot of delicious-ness.

And they disappeared really quickly at my last party.

So apparently all of my friends love it too.

Ingredients

This recipe makes about 30 pudding shots.

Here is your shopping list:

  • pudding mix – 1 small (3-oz) package Instant chocolate pudding. I haven’t tried the Cook & Serve pudding so I’m not sure it will work. But I think it should be okay as long as you let it cool before adding the alcohol.
  • dairy – 1 cup milk – full fat milk tastes best but you can use versions with less fat if you prefer. However, non-dairy options such as almond milk and coconut milk will not work.
  • alcohol – 1 cup peanut butter whiskey. I like Skrewball.
  • whipped topping – 1 8-oz container frozen whipped topping – this helps to make sure that the pudding sets. Don’t use real whipped cream since it doesn’t set the same way.
  • garnish – 1 can whipping cream, 1 jar chocolate sprinkles (both optional)

How to make peanut butter chocolate pudding shots

Prep work

Thaw the whipped topping before starting this recipe by moving it from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before.

Put the peanut butter whiskey in the refrigerator a few hours ahead of time to let it chill.

Also, make sure that the milk is cold.

Put out about 30 2-ounce shot cups on a tray or baking sheet.

I like to use the plastic shot cups with lids. They’re easy to serve and won’t make a mess if they get dropped.

The baking sheet also isn’t absolutely necessary. But it catches spills and makes moving the pudding shots into the refrigerator easier.

Make the pudding

Chocolate pudding mix in a bowl with a whisk

Pour the instant chocolate pudding mix into a mixing bowl.

Pour in 1 cup cold milk and 1 cup cold whiskey.

Whisk until the mixture starts to thicken, about 2 minutes

Let stand for 5 minutes until it has thickened some more.

Fold in the cool whip until all the white is gone.

Chill the shot cups

Use a cookie scoop to fill the jello shot cups about 3/4 full.

Put the lids on the shot cups.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Or freeze for 30 minutes.

Because of the milk and Cool Whip, these pudding shots should stay chilled until you are just about ready to serve them.

Serve

If you want to make the pudding shots look prettier, top each one with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles if desired.

I like to serve them with a tasting spoon since it makes them easier to eat.

Storage

These pudding shots can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 days.

Or freeze for up to 2 weeks. Take them out of the freezer and put them in the refrigerator a few hours before serving.

  1. Looks delightful. I already have a bottle of kalua I think I might try using that in place of the whiskey.

      Thanks, Carrie! I think Kahlua would be delicious, too!

    Sooooooo, uuuuhhhh….I missed the part about almond milk not working until the very end. 😫 Any suggestions?? Or am I just screwed??

    1. Sorry, Kayla…I don’t have any suggestions for fixing that. If you’ve already mixed them, maybe you could add some more almond milk, put it in a blender with some ice and drink it like a milkshake 🙂

  3. How can you make it dairy free?

    1. Hi Shelly…I haven’t tried making them without milk, but it is really part of the pudding mix instructions. If you can find dairy-free pudding mix, you should be able to substitute it. This website has some instructions on how to make Jello pudding mix with dairy-free alternatives so you could give that a try.

    I used this recipe to make dirt cake (aka dirt pudding). I melted the leftover Oreo cream & added it in along with the cool-whip just so it didn’t have to go to waste. It’s soooo good & boozy & Oreo-y!! I topped the dirt with green sprinkles, “robin egg” candy & a big cookies’n’cream Easter bunny.

    Added the peanut butter hard shell chocolate on top , everyone loves them !

    1. Thanks, Mary! Adding the hard shell chocolate is a great idea! I’m going to try that 🙂
