Servings: 10
Equipment
- Shot Glasses 2-Ounce
Ingredients
- 1 Box instant pudding vanilla, 3.4-Ounce
- 1 Cup milk full fat, chilled
- ½ Cup + 2 Tablespoons key lime pie rum cream such as Blue Chair Bay Key Lime Rum Cream or KēKē Key Lime Pie Cream Liqueur, chilled
- 2 Tablespoons key lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon lime zest
- 3 graham crackers whole, then crushed
To Garnish
- whipped cream
- 10 Slices lime
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for about 1 minute, or until slightly thickened. Add the rum cream and whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the lime juice and 2 teaspoons lime zest, then whisk until fully incorporated and thickened. Refrigerate while you prepare the shot glasses.
- Spoon 2 teaspoons of crushed graham crackers into each 2-ounce shot glass. Add about 2½ Tablespoons of pudding mixture over the crumbs in each glass. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, top with whipped cream, the remaining lime zest and lime slices, if using. Serve with small dessert spoons.
Notes
Start with cold ingredients: Keep both the milk and rum cream chilled so the instant pudding thickens properly.
Give the pudding time to thicken: Refrigerate the pudding mixture while you prepare the glasses. This makes it easier to spoon neatly over the graham cracker crumbs.
Crush the graham crackers finely: Fine crumbs make a better little crust layer and are easier to eat from a shot glass.
Don't garnish too early: Add the whipped cream and lime slices shortly before serving so everything looks fresh.
Serve them with little spoons: These are creamy pudding shots rather than firm gelatin shots, so little dessert spoons are the easiest way to eat them.
