Christmas Chocolate Kahlua Baileys (Print Version)

Creamy chocolate pudding with Baileys and Kahlua, topped with festive sprinkles for holiday celebrations.

# Ingredients:

→ Liqueurs

01 - 1/2 cup Red Velvet Baileys Irish Cream or standard Baileys
02 - 1/4 cup Kahlua coffee liqueur

→ Base

03 - 1 small box chocolate instant pudding mix (JELLO brand preferred, approximately 3.9 ounces)
04 - 3/4 cup cold whole milk

→ Topping & Garnish

05 - 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
06 - Christmas-themed sprinkles, as needed, for garnish

# Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Baileys, Kahlua, chocolate instant pudding mix, and cold milk until the mixture thickens slightly.
02 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the chocolate pudding mixture until homogenous and smooth.
03 - Using a tablespoon, evenly distribute the mixture into small shot cups or dessert vessels.
04 - Refrigerate or freeze the prepared pudding shots until fully set and chilled, typically 2-4 hours.
05 - Just before serving, garnish each pudding shot with festive Christmas sprinkles.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal texture, allow the pudding shots to firm up in the refrigerator for several hours; freezing yields a firmer set, ideal for warmer environments.
