The July Recipe Redux challenge is a "spirited' one!
A Spirited ReDux
From plain Jane vanilla extract to fancy-pants elderflower liqueur, we like to keep a little liquor in the kitchen. Show us how you like to cook, bake or mix-it-up with spirits, extracts and other alcohols. A splash of vodka makes summer sauces shine – and liqueurs brighten desserts: What’s your healthy recipe with spirit?
I love mudslides. During the summer months we spend a lot of time in Ocean City, NJ at my parent's condo. Years ago TGI Fridays marketed a mudslide mix. We would whip up frozen mudslides at the pool deck pretty frequently with this mix. One night we went to a friend's ice cream shop after closing and mixed in soft serve ice cream, yum! For this months challenge I wanted to create a dessert using the common ingredients found in a mudslide: Kahlua, Vodka, and Bailey's Irish Cream. Mudslides are packed with calories we don't need, so I didn't want to create a dessert that would be high in calories either, especially since I am supposed to create "healthy" recipes. Using non fat milk, no eggs, and smaller serving containers you can enjoy a yummy dessert without a lot of excess calories.
Placing the pudding into shot glasses allows you to control the portion size and control the calories. One shot class is just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Ohhh looks good. I absolutely love Bailey's Irish cream + chocolate. And these are mini so that makes them super cute. I just might have to add some sprinkles though;)

I thought about cookie crumbs in the center between the layers, but I had to make the pudding at my parents condo. Forgot the cookie crumbs:(
