    Did you have to read that title a few times to wrap your head around exactly what these delicious little things are? Don’t worry… you’re going to love them. Is it a drink? Is it a dessert? Both!

    You’ll have to eat these key lime pie pudding shots with a spoon like a dessert, but they have an alcoholic kick to them that makes them adult-only.

    If you’ve been reading our blog for long, you know how much we love tiny desserts. I don’t know about your family, but in ours it’s hard to get people to dig into the dessert table after a big meal, so we’ve found that individually sized desserts that can be eaten in just a couple bites are the way to go.

    A few of our favorite “small bite desserts”

    • Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes
    • Orange, Cream Cheese Cupcakes
    • Mini Pavlova
    • Blueberry Cream Cheese Cupcakes
    • Key Lime Cupcakes

    If you love that key lime flavor, you’ll also want to check out these Key Lime Cookies.

    Also (this is another thing you know if you’ve met my family), we’re not afraid to add a little booze to just about anything. Behold, the key lime pie pudding shot!

    These are seriously so easy to make and require no baking or, quite frankly, any cooking skills whatsoever. Start out with a nice fresh whipped cream… Don’t get lazy and go for the store-bought stuff either! Just whip up some heavy cream and you won’t regret it.

    Then, you get your instant vanilla pudding. You’re going to almost follow the instructions, except when it calls for 2 cups of milk, you’re going to instead add ¾ of a cup of milk, an equal amount of lime rum, and ½ a cup of key lime juice. Fold the boozy pudding and the whipped cream together and you have key lime pie pudding shots!

    If you’re transporting them to be eaten at a casual party, go for the inexpensive plastic ramekins with lids. If you really want to impress, do what I did and put them in nice white souffle cups. Or if you’re feeling super fancy, you really can’t go wrong with some mini martini glasses. 

    Either way, you’ll need some of these adorable tiny spoons to eat them with. Top with crushed graham crackers and a key lime wedge and you’re ready to go!

    For some variety you’ll want to also make Mudslide Pudding Shots. They’ll be a perfect choice on your party tray! If you just

    Taking to a tailgate party? You’ll want to make these Spicy, Beer Boiled Peanuts. They’re a cinch to make in the slow cooker.

      Small desserts like these are a perfect end to a dinner party, just the right size and I always feel they look great. A perfect summer dessert, for adults.

        I agree, Katherine. Nobody wants to be overpowered with a heavy dessert after a big meal. Thank you!

      Ohhh MY! I’m in trouble now!! I found your website while looking for a Key Lime Pudding Shots recipe for a friend and came across this recipe after looking at others.
      After taking a look around at some of your recipes, and being from the South (B’ham, AL)… transplanted to Texas years ago but still miss the South & certain recipes like your Ambrosia recipe that take me back home! I remember my Mother – who’s passed away now – made it every holiday. Well, now I eat a bit more healthier than some of my Southern roots heritage BUT… every now & again I do make the Soutyhern “good ole day/way” recipes. Finding your website is like a warm hug frim home. I plan on using your site often & passing it along to my friends!
      Thank you Pam & Sara for a wonderful website, beautiful recipes & sparking memories from my Southern roots. I lived in Marietta years ago & miss my time there along with the short ride to visit family in B’ham, AL.!!

        Well, you just made my day! Those words “a warm hug from home” made me tear up. That warm hug is exactly the feeling we hope to bring with these old recipes. Of course, we have some newer style, healtier ones too, but we love keeping alive the old traditions and bringing back memories for our readers. Thank you for taking the time to write.

        Hi Barb,

        It’s the small 4 serving size (3.4 ounces). We’ve updated the recipe to reflect. Thanks for the heads up!
