Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • Green food coloring, a few drops

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pudding Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk together for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and is smooth.
  2. Add Flavoring: Stir in the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring until the pudding achieves a uniform light green color and minty flavor.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the pudding sets and is fully chilled.
  4. Serve: Spoon the pudding into small serving glasses or shot glasses. Optionally garnish with whipped cream or a mint leaf before serving.

Notes

  • Use heavy whipping cream or alcohol for an adult version of the pudding shots if desired.
  • Adjust the amount of mint extract to taste, as it can be quite strong.
  • Chilling is important to allow the pudding to firm up properly for serving shots.
  • Adding whipped cream on top can enhance the dessert’s creaminess and presentation.
