FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
I use 2-ounce plastic cups for this recipe which makes a larger portion of about 27 pudding shots.
Jim Beam is my go-to bourbon but you can use any of your favorites.
Yes you can. Feel free to make your own favorite recipe or try my recipe for Cinnamon Whipped Cream. It would taste amazing on these shots! Otherwise you can use Cool Whip or canned whipped topping as well.
Yes, if you have a recipe for homemade eggnog it will work just fine. Both store bought and homemade will work with this recipe.
I find that these two spices really bring out the flavor of everything and make it really festive. You could also use pumpkin pie spice as a substitute.
These can be stored in the refrigerator with the lid on where they will keep for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen. Place lidded containers in a freezer container where they will keep for up to 3 months. They are great frozen, but to defrost, remove to the refrigerator overnight until thawed.

HOW TO MAKE EGG NOG PUDDING SHOTS:
In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, eggnog, bourbon, Fireball, cinnamon, and nutmeg for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Add one of the 8-ounce containers of whipped topping and fold it in. Place in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Lay out 27 (2-ounce) plastic cups or something similar onto a sheet tray. Add 3 tablespoons of the pudding mixture to each cup. Cover with the tops or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
Pipe on the remaining whipped topping to each shot. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon and nutmeg on top if using. Keep chilled and serve immediately.

Hi Brandie, since I don’t have any Fireball could I use spiced rum instead? These sound delicious and I have lots of eggnog in the fridge. Thanks for the great recipe.l
I think for sure you could!
Am I missing how to use the Fireball?
Nope, it wasn’t on there. Thanks for catching that! It’s fixed now 🙂
