Notes
- If not using Irish Cream, then increase milk to use 1 ½ cups milk.
- Substitute the instant vanilla pudding mix with a box of chocolate pudding mix to make chocolate Bailey's Pudding Shots.
- Use different types of liqueur, such as Kahlua, Godiva chocolate liqueur, or Chambord, instead of Bailey's to create different flavors. Just use the same alcohol content in the original recipe.
- Use almond milk, coconut milk, etc. for the perfect addition in swap of the dairy milk.
- Add crushed Lucky Charms marshmallows, cookies, like Oreos or graham crackers, to the pudding mixture for added texture and flavor. (i like to pulse them in a food processor to get them fine)
- Top the shots with chocolate shavings, chocolate chips, caramel sauce for a decadent touch.
- Make a non-alcoholic version of the pudding shots by substituting the Bailey's with Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer.
- Try adding different extracts, like peppermint or almond, for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
- Add ½ cup whipped cream or vanilla cream vodka (you may need to add cool whip if you add this)
- Add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the pudding mixture to give it a Irish coffee pudding shots.
- Add whipped topping in the mixture to thicken if desired.
