“Desserts are the fairy tales of the kitchen—a happily-ever-after to supper.” – Terri Guillemets
What do you usually look for after a good meal? Yes! Dessert!
What is the best dessert? Wikipedia says,
“The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, sweet soups, and tarts. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts.”
The etymology of the word “dessert.”
“The word “dessert” originated from the French word desservir, meaning “to clear the table.”
Well, if you’re looking for a boozy dessert to fit the definition, look no further- these banana pudding shots are it!
Have you ever tried mixing banana, rum, and pudding?
This dessert is popularly known as Banana Pudding Shots. If you haven’t heard of this combination yet, then this is the best time for you to learn this easy and homemade dessert.
This recipe will be loved by your family, especially the adults.
This sumptuous dessert is the combination of the nutritious and delicious banana, pudding, a touch of cool whip, and white rum.
All these mixed together then tossed in a shot-glass is nothing but perfection to the eyes and taste buds.
In fact, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
“There are more than 1,000 varieties of bananas produced and consumed locally in the world, but the most commercialized is the Cavendish type banana, which accounts for around 47 percent of global production.”
Hold up, this is not the type of shot that is usually served in a bar, this is more like a tiny-looking type of dessert that is served in a shot glass. However, since there’s rum in it, this dessert is still considered alcoholic.
In fact, it’s the delectable addition of white rum that’s secret key ingredient into making these pudding shots so irresistible!
If you’re wondering how banana, pudding, and rum are going to taste all mixed up together, well- just trust us.
It is a sweet, boozy match made in heaven!
Another thing we love about this recipe is its adjustability. Got littles around that you don’t necessarily want hammering back dessert shots infused with rum? No problem- just leave the rum out entirely or swap it out with another tasty simple syrup to give them a non-alcoholic added depth of flavor!
On the other hand, if you want your pudding shots to be even more boozy- just up the rum in the recipe by another ¼ cup or so (just make sure to reduce the milk you use by a similar amount so your pudding isn’t too runny).
These Banana Pudding Shots sure do go down easily (in just one gulp)- so be careful not to have this dessert in excess.
Here’s what you need to prepare Banana Pudding Shots:
- instant vanilla pudding
