Equipment
- 10-15 Jell-O shot cups depending on how much you fill them up
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4-ounce) vanilla Jell-O instant pudding
- ¾ cup cold whole milk
- ¾ cup chilled RumChata
- 8-ounce container Cool Whip thawed
Optional Garnishes
- Whipped cream
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (3.4-ounce) vanilla Jell-O instant pudding, ¾ cup cold whole milk, and chilled ¾ cup chilled RumChata. (The pudding mixture may still be thin at this point — that's fine.)
- Chill Briefly: Transfer bowl to the fridge and chill for 5 minutes to thicken slightly before folding in Cool Whip.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in thawed 8-ounce container Cool Whip until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Chill Again: Transfer pudding mixture back to the fridge for another 5 minutes.
- Fill Cups: Clear space in your fridge for a small baking sheet or tray. Spoon or pipe pudding mixture evenly into shot cups, filling each to the top. Arrange filled cups on the tray for easy transfer.
- Set Fully: Transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
