Lemon Meringue Pie Pudding Shots Recipe
Ingredients
For the Base:
- 1–2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs (per shot cup)
For the Lemon Pudding Layer:
- 1 box instant lemon pudding mix (3.4 oz)
- 1 cup cold milk
- ½ cup whipped cream vodka
For the Meringue Topping:
- 2 egg whites
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Kitchen torch for toasting
Instructions
1. Prepare the Shot Cups
Add about a teaspoon of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each plastic pudding shot cup. This gives you that “pie crust” taste in every bite.
2. Make the Lemon Pudding
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix, milk, until thickened.
Stir in the whipped cream vodka.
Fold in the Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the lemon mixture into each shot cup, filling them about ¾ full.
3. Make the Meringue
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
Slowly add the sugar and vanilla while beating on high until stiff, glossy peaks form.
4. Add the Meringue Topping
Pipe or spoon the meringue on top of each pudding shot.
Using a kitchen torch, carefully toast the tops until golden and caramelized — just like a real lemon meringue pie.
5. Chill + Serve
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so everything sets.
Serve cold and watch them disappear!
