Ingredients

  • 1 (3.9) ounce package instant chocolate pudding mix like Jell-O
  • 1 packet hot cocoa mix like Swiss Miss with mini marshmallows
  • ⅔ cup milk whole or 2%
  • ⅔ cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream homemade or Cool-Whip, plus more for topping
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Cocoa powder
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix chocolate pudding mix, hot cocoa mix, and milk with a whisk until well blended and smooth. Add Baileys and vanilla extract and whisk again until well combined.
  • With a spoon or spatula, fold in one cup of Cool Whip until fully incorporated.
  • Spoon into small cups or containers and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Top with whipped cream and other toppings as desired.

Notes

  • Pudding will be soft, like a mousse, not completely set.
  • Don’t add Cool Whip to the pudding mixture if you want a thick pudding texture
  • Try Kahlua or Rumchata in place of Baileys, if desired.
  • Add a couple drops of green food coloring to the whipped cream (topping) for a St. Patrick’s Day treat.
