Notes
Tips: When whisking the pudding mix and milk, make sure to mix thoroughly to avoid any lumps. If you find any lumps, a quick whisking or using a hand mixer can help smooth things out.
Before folding in the whipped topping, give the mixture a taste. If you like it sweeter or with a stronger liqueur flavor, you can adjust the amounts to your preference. Don't add too much alcohol though, or the shots may not set with the proper pudding texture.
Topping ideas: Besides chocolate sprinkles, you could use crushed cookies, a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a fancy touch.
Storage: This dessert can be made a day ahead of time, so it's perfect for parties or gatherings. Just keep it covered in the fridge until you're ready to serve. They can also keep in the freezer for about a week.
