19 Recipe For Shot Desserts For Christmas They're Simply Irresistible!

Mini Peppermint Cheesecake Shots

Ingredients:

• 1 cup crushed graham crackers
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/4 cup crushed candy canes
• Whipped cream, for topping

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Divide the mixture evenly among shot glasses, pressing down gently to form the crust.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
3. Divide the cream cheese mixture among the shot glasses, on top of the graham cracker crust. Top with crushed candy canes.
4. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
5. Before serving, top each shot with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes.

Notes:

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the peppermint extract and add in a few drops of red food coloring to give the shots a festive touch.

Salted Caramel Brownie Shots

Ingredients:

• 1 box brownie mix
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Sea salt flakes, for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the caramel sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth. Let cool.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
5. Using a shot glass, cut out circles from the cooled brownies. Assemble the shots by layering a brownie circle, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a dollop of whipped cream in each shot glass.
6. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes and serve immediately.

Notes:

If you don't have a shot glass, you can also use small cups or mini mason jars for serving. For an extra indulgent touch, add a small piece of chocolate on top of the whipped cream before sprinkling with sea salt flakes.
