FAQs
How long are pudding shots good for?
If stored properly in the fridge inside some kind of airtight container, your pudding shots can last 4-5 days. Uncovered or left out at room temperature, they may only last you a day or two.
Do you put pudding shots in the fridge or the freezer?
For best results, I recommend storing in the fridge. However, pudding shots can be frozen if you need to keep them for longer periods of time.
Just be aware that freezing and thawing can alter the overall flavor and texture of your shots.
If you’re concerned about how this process might affect your shots, freeze just one and let it thaw to see what happens.
What kind of liquor is in Baileys Strawberries and Cream?
These Pudding Shots with Baileys are an easy light treat for parties.
The base of this flavored Baileys is their classic Irish Cream Liquor, which combines whiskey with Irish cream and the flavors of vanilla and chocolate. The result is a deliciously creamy liquor with sweet flavors.
It’s perfect for sweeter cocktails, to pour over ice cream, to mix into hot cocoa and coffee, or even to drink on its own.
You can even make your own homemade Baileys Irish Cream if you’re interested to see what the process is like and what goes into the liquor.
Where can I buy Strawberries and Cream Baileys?
You should be able to find Baileys’ Strawberries and Cream variety in most liquor stores around you, especially in January and February.
If not, there are many online retailers that sell it. One 750 mL bottle typically costs around $30.
Baileys Strawberries and Cream Pudding Shots – Popular Variations and Substitutions
- To add even more decor, top each shot with a small swirl of whipped cream, then add the sprinkles.
- Want even more intense strawberry flavor? Use strawberry milk instead of regular milk. This will give your shots a subtle pink color.
- A bit of red food dye can also be stirred into the pudding mixture to achieve a light pink hue.
- For more authentic and natural strawberry flavor, dice up about a cup of strawberries and mix them into your pudding. Be aware that the moisture in the berries may affect the pudding’s consistency. Plan to start with less milk and only add more if needed.
With a simple but effective decorative topping, you’ll love these strawberry pudding shots for Valentine’s Day, date night, or any time you want to show somebody you love them!
