Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate pudding
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate liqueur
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed cookies
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients and gather necessary equipment: shot glasses, mixing bowls, whisk, and spatula.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine chocolate pudding and chocolate liqueur. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well-blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring carefully until completely smooth and glossy.

- Carefully pour the chocolate pudding mixture into prepared shot glasses, filling approximately 2/3 of each glass.
- Sprinkle crushed cookies on top of each shooter, creating a delicate crumbly layer.
- Drizzle additional melted chocolate over the top of each shooter for extra decadence.
- Refrigerate shooters for at least 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and mixture to set.

Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: When melting chocolate chips, use low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning. A double boiler works best for smooth, glossy melted chocolate.
- Presentation is Key: Take extra time with the chocolate syrup swirl and garnish - visual appeal is half the experience!
- Chill for Perfection: Don't skip the refrigeration step. This allows flavors to meld and gives the shooters a perfect, firm consistency.
- Make Ahead Tip: These shooters can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making them perfect for party planning.
- Customize Your Shooters: Experiment with different cookie crumbs or liqueur variations to create your unique twist on this classic recipe.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after removing from the refrigerator for the best texture and flavor experience.
