Tips and Suggestions
- Make Lucky Charms infused milk for your pudding. Pour milk over a bowl of cereal and refrigerate for 30 minutes, then discard the cereal and use the milk to make your pudding.
- Use a piping bag to fill your shot cups easily with no mess. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a baggie with the corner cut off.
- Make these extra festive by adding a green sugar rim or some green St. Patty’s Day sprinkles.
Variations
- Skip the green food coloring and use pistachio pudding in place of the vanilla.
- Try using white chocolate liqueur in place of the Irish cream.
- Make a Lucky Charms parfait by alternating layers of pudding and Lucky Charms cereal in a parfait cup.
Can I Make These Without Alcohol?
Make a non-alcoholic version by replacing the Irish cream with ½ cup cold milk.
How Do I Store Lucky Charms Pudding Shots?
Store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
You can, but they’ll taste best if consumed within a couple of days. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge and don’t add the whipped cream until you are ready to serve.
