3/4 cup of Milk
1/4 cup of Vodka
1/2 cup of Kahlua

In a KitchenAid mixer or small bowl combine milk and pudding mixing until smooth and thickened. This takes about 2 minutes flat. Add the vodka and Kahlua, whisking until all lumps and clumps are gone. Once the mixture is nice and smooth again, Fold in the whipped topping.
It’s not recommended to use real whip cream as it has a tendency to separate.

Fill almost ¾ of a 1oz plastic shot cup with the mixture then cover and place in the freezer.
To serve, hold the cup in your warm hands for a minute to loosen the pudding shot, pop it into your mouth and enjoy it because man, these are fantastic!
