Ingredient Notes
- Cheesecake instant pudding mix: This creates the rich, tangy base that gives these creamy pudding shots a cheesecake-like flavor.
- Cold milk: Cold milk helps the pudding mixture thicken properly for smooth, scoopable shots.
- RumChata: This creamy liqueur adds sweetness and warmth, similar to rumchata pudding shots.
- Fireball cinnamon whiskey: Fireball brings that signature cinnamon kick that pairs perfectly with apple pie flavors and a light sprinkle of cinnamon vibe.
- Cool Whip: Folded in gently, this adds fluffiness and that classic boozy pudding texture (about ounces of Cool Whip you expect for pudding shots).
- Apple pie filling, diced: Soft apples add texture and classic apple pie flavor without overpowering the pudding.
- Graham cracker crumbs: These mimic a pie crust and give each cup that nostalgic dessert feel.
- Optional garnishes: Whipped topping, extra crumbs, apple slices, or cinnamon sticks dress up the top of each rim for a bakery-style finish.
Apple Pie Pudding Shots
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk, RumChata, and Fireball with the cheesecake pudding mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined and creamy.

- Add about ½–¾ tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs to the bottom of plastic pudding shot cups, souffle cups, or regular shot glasses.
- Divide the pudding mixture evenly between cups, filling to the rim.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture. Garnish just before serving and enjoy your delicious shot!
