Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Flavoring

  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • Green food coloring, a few drops (adjust to desired shade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pudding Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  2. Add Mint Flavor: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract, blending carefully to evenly distribute the refreshing mint taste throughout the pudding.
  3. Color the Pudding: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the pudding mixture, and mix gently until you achieve a vibrant, uniform green color reminiscent of a classic Shamrock Shake.
  4. Chill: Cover the pudding and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the pudding to fully set and thicken.
  5. Serve Cold: Once chilled, give the pudding a quick stir and serve immediately in small cups or shot glasses for a festive treat.

Notes

  • Use cold milk to ensure the pudding sets properly and achieves the desired creamy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of mint extract to suit your taste; start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more cautiously as needed.
  • For an adult version, consider adding a splash of whiskey or Irish cream to complement the mint flavor.
  • Serve immediately after chilling for the best texture; pudding shots may lose firmness if left out too long.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk and use a compatible pudding mix.
