Jenny says
Now this is the perfect shot for me! Looks delicious too. Thanks for being a part of Merry Monday!
Megan says
I made these just now exactly as directed. Mine made 24 2.5oz shots and honestly they are good but it def needs more of the cake vodka. If it’s meant to not be tasted than it’s spot on but I enjoy a little taste of the alcohol. Great recipe!
Lisa says
I don’t like cake vodka and I don’t like vanilla but I gave these a “shot” (see what I did there?) for my 50th. Y’ALL! These are fantastic! I replaced a little of the milk with extra booze and used a piping bag to fill the cups. Double batch yielded 60 2oz cups… would have been a few more but I couldn’t stop “tasting.” HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Ann says
I am so glad you enjoyed them, Lisa. And wow good on you for using a piping bag and prettying them up!

Sasha says
I want to make these this weekend. Can i make them two days in advance??
Ann says
I want to say no, buuuut… whenever we have leftovers, I keep them in the fridge and we eat one or two per day for up to five days before they separate. IOW, you “should” be ok, just do not decorate them with whipped cream or sprinkles until just before you serve.

Jenna says
These store super well in the freezer btw. Mine didn’t last that long because I ate them but they were in there a few days after our party. The texture of the frozen pudding is soooooo good, especially since the alcohol leaves it a little soft
Ann says
That is great to know, Jenna! Thank you.

Darnetta Lewis says
Can I add the sprinkles in the pudding if I’m making 2 days In advance will the colors run
Ann says
Hi Darnetta,
I would not add the whipped cream or sprinkles until you are ready to serve.

Nicole says
I want to make these, but is it safe to consume raw cake mix?
Deb says
Are these drinkable or should I serve with a spoon? Taking them to a gathering. Thank you.
Ann says
Serve them with a spoon to be safe, Deb.

Karen Wilson says
I needed at least 21 shots so I doubled the recipe…ended up with 72 shots LOL.
These were for my Grandsons 21st birthday, they were a big hit.
