This mocha latte dessert shooters recipe was sponsored by Acorn Influence, and its advertiser, Café Breaks.  All opinions are my own. #LoveCafeBreaks

Mocha Latte Dessert Shooters

At first, I thought, “No, it’s too easy.”  Then I thought, “But it’s so good.”

Guess which thought won out?

You may know of my great and passionate love for coffee.  If not, let me tell you about it.

I love coffee.  A day without coffee is a day without sunshine.  Good coffee is the key to my writing, my creativity, and in general, my continued ability to function.

I typically prefer to make my coffee at home.  However, once in a while, I am tempted by one of those frou-frou coffee drinks piled high with a ridiculous amount of whipped cream and crowned with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Make dessert shooters just like a fancy coffee drink with a simple combination of coffee pudding, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup. Easy and delicious!

You know the ones.

So I decided to make a tiny dessert version that I could enjoy at home.  It’s extremely simple, yet it looks and tastes like one of those elegant little dessert shooters you might pick off a gleaming silver tray at a restaurant.

I highly recommend making them for yourself as a lovely afternoon treat.  And if you’re a generous type, make them for friends and family, too.  Or serve them at a party.  Maybe even start your own roadside stand and hawk them for a dollar a pop.  Kidding!  (They’d totally sell, though.)

You only need a couple of ingredients to make these dessert shooters, although I’ll also give you a few more variations to play with.

I’m using the new Café Break pudding cups as the base for this recipe.  Café Break pudding cups come in two flavors at Walmart: Mocha Latte & Caramel Latte.

Cafe Breaks Pudding

I picked up both kinds, because of course I would pick up both kinds, and I used the Ibotta app to save $1 on a 4-pack of Café Break pudding cups.

You can find these pudding cups in the snack aisle at Walmart.

They’re an indulgent treat that won’t break the bank.  I enjoy kicking back with a Café Break pudding cup during those (brief) lulls in the day when I have a moment to relax.  It might be right before I head out to pick up my daughter from school, or late in the day when the kids have gone to bed.

Cafe Breaks Mocha Latte Pudding

Any time is a good time for pudding.

Variations of Coffee Dessert Shooters

  • Caramel Latte Dessert Shooter: Café Break Caramel Latte Pudding, whipped cream, caramel sauce
  • Cookies & Cream Coffee Dessert Shooter: Café Break Mocha Latte Pudding, crumbled chocolate sandwich cookies, whipped cream, chocolate syrup
  • Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Coffee Dessert Shooter: Café Break Mocha Latte Pudding with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice stirred in, whipped cream, garnish of pumpkin pie spice
  • Mint Mocha Latte Dessert Shooter: Café Break Mocha Latte Pudding with a few drops of mint extract stirred in, whipped cream, fresh mint leaf garnish
  • Banana Pudding Latte Dessert Shooter: Café Break Caramel Latte Pudding, sliced banana, whipped cream, caramel sauce, crumbled vanilla wafer cookies

    Dessert shooters are always so pretty and they’re just the right amount for ending a meal. I like the idea of making all the different flavors for a party. The caramel latte sounds delicious.

    I just had these mocha latter puddings in my hand at Walmart the other day, and then put them down because I was not sure if they were going to be good or bad.. Now I see I should have purchased them.

    Coffee and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations. I love the small portion size of this dessert as well.
