Dessert shooter treats!

This past weekend, I hit the road 3 hours north to spend some time with my parents. We also threw a bridal shower for my cousin and his fiance...now if you like desserts, and you like a little booze...you will like this post.




Note: There are no specific measurements here, due to us being Italian and just guestimating...

Kahlua Oreo Shooters
Jell-O brand Oreo Pudding mix
Oreos 
milk
half & half
Kahlua (duh)
Cool whip or whip cream


Basically, we made the oreo pudding with half milk, and the rest half & half,
We then crushed a few rows of oreos..and soaked them in kahlua.
Tried to make them look cute by alternating the booze soaked oreos, pudding, then topped with whipped topping and garnished with a cherry.

We chilled them overnight and they were just as delicious the next day.



Anyone care for some Bailey's Irish Creme? How about some cheesecake or brownies?
How about all three?


Bailey's Brownies Cheesecake shooters
Tub of Philadelphia cheesecake filling
Box of brownie mix (& whatever it says on the box to make them)
Bailey's Irish Cream (or the generic stuff from Aldi's!)

We made a pan of brownies, let them cook and crumbled them. Soaked them with Bailey's irish cream for about a half an hour.
While the brownies soaked up to booze, we whipped the cheesecake filling.
We did the same thing to these as far as layering the yummy and topped with home made whipped cream. (We ended up adding a dot of gel food coloring instead of a cherry on these just before the shower)

they.were.amazing.





And now for a few shower photos of the dessert table to make you even hungrier...

My mom even thought of the little tiny spoons!

We had delicious red velvet cake balls, and chocolate covered strawberries mixed in there.
And a few homemade chocolate mints!

Mmmmm...



My mom created the centerpieces.

She did a great job, I was impressed.

Aunt Tam makes the best chocolate covered strawberries.

I almost forgot we made Italian Wedding cookies. Pizzelle cookies.
 We made those too. Click here for my recipe for pizzelle cookies.

I will leave you with one last photo of the delicious...


Have you ever made dessert shooters? 
Do you like to keep your booze and your desserts separate? 
Is your husband asking you to go get some ice cream now too?
