Equipment

  • 18 2-ounce shot glasses

Ingredients

  • 1 box pumpkin spice instant pudding 3.4 ounces
  • 1 box cheesecake instant pudding 3.4 ounces
  • 2 cups half and half divided - make sure it is very cold
  • ½ cup white rum
  • ½ cup spiced rum
  • 1 cup whipped cream + more for garnish
  • pumpkin sprinkles
  • fall themed jimmy sprinkles

Instructions

  • Place the cheesecake pudding in a medium bowl and add 1 cup cold half and half. Whisk until thick.
  • Add the white rum and using a whisk or hand mixer, mix until thoroughly combined and thickened again.
  • Add a ½ cup whipped cream and mix one more time until thoroughly combined.
  • Place the pumpkin pudding in a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 cup cold half and half and whisk until thick.
  • Add the spiced rum to the bowl and using a whisk or hand mixer, mix until thoroughly combined and thick again.
  • Add a ½ cup whipped cream and mix one more time until thoroughly combined.
  • Fill each shot glass just under halfway, or halfway, whichever you prefer, with the cheesecake pudding.
  • Fill the glasses the rest of the way with the pumpkin pudding mixture.
  • Chill for about an hour, if desired.
  • Top with a dollop of whipped cream, a pumpkin sprinkle, and some of the fun, fall themed sprinkles.

Notes

Tips:
  • It takes a long time to get the mixture to thicken after adding the alcohol if you use a whisk. I definitely suggest a hand mixer to make things much quicker.
  • Do not add more than the suggested alcohol or it won’t be thick enough to make layers.
  • If your mixture just won’t thicken, add a bit more pudding powder until it reaches the right consistency.
  • If your mixture is too thick, you can add some more alcohol, a bit at a time, until it reaches a nice or preferred consistency.
  • Do not refrigerate these for longer than a day before serving. They will start to dry out and crack down the sides. These are best served the same day they’re made.
  • Do not garnish the shots if you’re going to have them sit in the fridge. You want to garnish them right before serving.
