Tips

- Alcohol Content: Adjust the amount of vodka to suit your preference. For a stronger kick, increase the vodka; for a milder taste, reduce it.

- Variations: Experiment with different garnishes like chocolate shavings, caramel sauce, or a dusting of cinnamon for added flavor and texture.
Additional Tips
- For a vegan or dairy-free version, use a plant-based milk alternative and vegan whipped cream.
- To make these shots ahead of time, prepare the pudding mixture and refrigerate until ready to serve.
