  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes (includes chilling time)
  • Yield: 12 pudding shots

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 oz box Red Velvet JELL-O instant pudding mix
  • 1/4 cup red velvet cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup creme de cacao liqueur
  • 2 cups Cool Whip, thawed

For Decorating

  • Whipped cream
  • Valentine sprinkles

Supplies

  • 12 (2 oz) plastic soufflé cups with lids

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet pudding mix and red velvet cake mix thoroughly.
  2. Add Milk and Whisk: Pour in the cold milk and whisk the mixture until the pudding starts to thicken and the cake mix is well incorporated.
  3. Add Creme de Cacao: Stir in the creme de cacao liqueur evenly into the pudding mixture to infuse a subtle chocolate and vanilla flavor.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mix to create a light, fluffy texture.
  5. Portion and Chill: Spoon the pudding mixture evenly into 12 plastic soufflé cups. Cover with lids and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the pudding shots to set.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Just before serving, top each pudding shot with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with Valentine-themed sprinkles for a festive finish.

Notes

  • Make sure to use cold milk to help the pudding set properly and achieve the desired texture.
  • Chilling the pudding shots overnight results in the best flavor and consistency.
  • The creme de cacao adds a subtle chocolate liqueur flavor, but you can adjust the amount to taste or substitute with a different liqueur if preferred.
  • These pudding shots should be kept refrigerated until serving and are best consumed the same day for optimal freshness.
  • Use plastic soufflé cups with lids for easy transport and storage.
