KEY LIME PIE PUDDING SHOT

Steps:

• Prepare the shot cups. Make individual rows of 1-ounce cups on a baking sheet.
• Combine the milk and pudding powder thoroughly in a large bowl.
• Measure and pour the vodka, Frangelico, and lime juice into the bowl. Thoroughly whisk everything together.
• Froth the mixture. Add a scoop of the whipped cream and fold it into the pudding. Continue this process slowly until everything is blended well.
• Finish off by carefully folding in a green food coloring drop. Just remember that the more drops added, the darker the mixture will get.
• Use an ice cream scoop to evenly measure the pudding mixture into the cups.
• Set the pudding. Cover the cups with lids and freeze them for 24 hours at minimum.
• Serve with plastic spoons.
