Key Lime Pie Pudding Shots Recipe
Mmmm pudding shots! If you are looking for something that is a boozy cross between a dessert and a jello shot, pudding shots are perfect for you! (Well, if you are over 21 that is.) Easy to make, pudding shots are a great “adult” pudding recipe that is fun at parties, for tailgating, or just because!
Key Lime Pie Pudding Shots Notes:
• I used Cool Whip which is a brand name. You can use another brand of imitation whipped topping if you like.
• This recipe used Jello instant pudding, but you can use any instant pudding brand.
• You can purchase Graham cracker crumbs in the baking aisle of your grocery store, or buy a box of Graham cracker cookies, and give them a whirl in a mini-food processor to crush them quickly. Alternatively, you can insert your Graham cracker cookies into a plastic bag, zip the end almost closed (so as not to form an air pillow), get out a rolling pin, and roll it over the cookies inside the bag to form crumbs.
• For a different twist, try adding a splash (but just a little bit) of Malibu Rum to sweeten this up!

Key Lime Pie Pudding Shots Directions:

• Transfer the key lime pudding into the prepared soufflé cups, filling up to the top of each cup.
