These Candy Corn Pudding Shots are made with vanilla instant pudding, candy corn infused milk, Cool Whip, and vanilla vodka.

If you love candy corn you will love my Candy Corn Pudding Shots.

What makes them extra good is that you get the flavor of candy corn but it’s not overwhelming.

You know what I’m talking about.

Candy corn, as much as I love it, can be a little too sweet.

Which is why I love infusing it into baked goods or cocktails or ice cream.

You get all the flavor and none of the over-sweetness.

Ingredient Highlights:

• Sonic Vanilla Shake Instant Pudding: Can you use just plain vanilla pudding? Technically, yes. But the vanilla shake pudding that they make is just perfect for this.
• Candy Corn: If you are here for the recipe, I’m assuming you or someone you know likes candy corn. What is great about infusing milk with candy corn is that you get the flavor of candy corn but without the sickly sweet candy.
• Milk: You need to use whole milk for this recipe. The pudding needs to be extra creamy and skim or 2% just won’t do it.
• Vanilla Vodka: Any vanilla vodka will do. I wouldn’t use the good stuff for pudding shots. But that’s up to you. If you want you can use a whipped cream flavored vodka or plain vodka as well.
• Cool Whip: People groan at this usually. But Cool Whip is what works best. I have tried making pudding shots with real whipped cream and they just don’t work out.

Tips For Making Pudding Shots:

• Remember when using any alcohol that is more than 80 proof can make your pudding shots runny. Most vodkas run at 80 proof and that is usually the highest alcohol content booze I use so you should be fine. But always good to check.
• Don’t skip the Cool Whip.
• Many people ask can they use whipped cream instead.
  Yes, you can.
  However, make sure that you do not use the kind out of a can. That will not hold up.
  I’ve always made mine with Cool Whip just because I feel it holds it shape better in pudding shots.
• Be sure to chill them for at least 30 minutes.
  While I say to chill them for at least 30 minutes I usually end up chilling them for much longer.
• Often I make up the pudding the night before and place it into an airtight container and then scoop the day of the party.
• Saves time on the day of the party.
  
  P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
