Downloaded this thing and it would NOT take me to the recipe!!
Screen shot it.
i use snippit all of the time to save stuff that I can’t download. I sometimes am afraid to download a recipe and feel more comfortable using snippit. I usually save it in Word so I can print it later.
So – my question is are here thick like pudding and you need a spoon or more like a shake that you can rink as a shot?
I have made putting shots numerous times and they are a big hit. I provide little spoons but they are the consistency of chocolate mousse
*pudding
Where do u get the little spoons?
Little spoons available at Hobby Lobby in party section
Something new now to try them
It says chocolate pudding but then in the ingredients ,you said vanilla so I’m assuming it would be chocolate lol thank you
It literally says chocolate.
It’s 2 recipes in 1. Trying reading next time.
Wow! Rude
Or you could say “hey, you might have scrolled too fast. There are 2 separate recipes for chocolate and vanilla with different ingredients. The chocolate one will have more of a mocha taste,, the vanilla will taste more like red velvet.”
Chill out rude dude. Geez
I keep in the freezer They are amazing!!!!
How many does this make?
For me, each flavor recipe made about 25. So if you make the chocolate and the vanilla, you should wind up with about 50 total.
Wow…. I was confused too and I read the recipe several times. No need to be rude like that
What’s cool whip?
Cool whip is whipped topping sold in the US. It’s sold in a plastic tub, usually in the freezer section. You let it thaw out to use (or eat it like ice cream if it’s frozen 😜).
I like Bailey’s but not kahlua. Can I make it with just the Bailey’s? Would I add the extra amount of Bailey’s that would have been the amount of kahlua?
What can you use instead of Cool whip,
I live in Australia.
I’m going to try whipping heavy cream with sugar and a teaspoon or so of powdered sugar. This contains some corn starch which will keep your whipped cream stable and not runny and weeping..
The recipe calls for 2 cups liquid to make the pudding. Do you substitute a 1/4 cup of liquor for the liquid? Or is the liquor used to make the pudding a bit more runny to drink it out of the little cup?
