Sweet Tooth: Chocolatini Pudding Shots ♥

Chocolatini Pudding Shooters ~ I’m on a roll with martini infused desserts. My latest love .  .  . Chocolatini. What’s not to love Bailey’s (a personal favorite of mine), vodka and chocolate liqueur, mix that in with some chocolate pudding and serve it in chocolate cups and you have an unforgettable Chocolatini shooter.

Recipe Instructions

Chocolate Cupss

• 24 one inch chocolate cups 

Directions for making homemade chocolate dessert cups:

1. Stove top method: Place chocolate in a heat proof bowl above simmering water (not directly on top) and gently stir until the chocolate melts and becomes shiny.
2. Microwave method: Place chocolate in a heat proof bowl in the microwave and melt in 30 second intervals. Stirring each time you open the microwave. Continue heating until chocolate is shiny.
3. Place melted bowl of melted chocolate over warm water as you work.
4. Paint inside of mold with the chocolate, making sure it that it is not too thin or the chocolate will more readily break when you tap it out. Transfer chocolate painted molds to the to the freezer for 10minutes. Chocolate is ready to be tapped out once it starts to pull away from the walls of the form.
5. Fill forms as you prefer.

Chocolate Pudding

• 1 3.2 oz box of Jell-o Chocolate pudding

Chocolatini

• 6 oz Bailey Irish Cream
• 2 oz Vodka
• 2 oz Godiva Chocolate Liqueur

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake well. Add Chocolatini to cooled pudding and using a spatula, fold to combine.

Assembly

1. For added control transfer Chocolatini infused pudding to a Ziploc baggie or pastry bag and pipe mixture into chocolate shells.
2. Garnish as desired.  

A few notes:

• The chocolate cups can be made five days in advance and kept in a cool dark place in a tightly covered container.
• Make sure the pudding is cooled before adding the Chocolatini, so the heat doesn’t burn off any alcohol.
• Please be responsible. I know it seems obvious, but I had a concerned reader write me about how dangerous sugary alcohol shots can be since they mask the flavor and people can easily misjudge the strength of them.

Until next time...
