Ingredients
  

chocolate coffee pudding shots

  • 4 tbsp coffee beans
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 oz dark OR unsweetened chocolate chopped
  • 3 tbsp Chocolate liqueur you can also use coffee liqueur

Chocolate Coffee Shots – Alcohol-free version

  • 4 tbsp coffee beans
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 oz dark or unsweetened chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Place the coffee beans and heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer or medium heat, stirring often. Once the mixture has started to simmer, reduce the heat and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • After 5 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and allow the coffee beans to steep in the cream for -15-20 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, then return the cream to the pan and discard the coffee beans.
  • Add your chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. If you’re cream has cooled too long, put it back on low heat and heat it just enough to melt the chocolate. 
  • Stir in the chocolate liqueur(skip if making alcohol-free shots) Then pour your chocolate mixture into your shot glasses of choice. (I usually get 12 regular-sized shots.)
  • Place the finished shots in the refrigerator and chill for 4-6 hours or overnight. The shots might be ready sooner, but you want to give them a good amount of time to set up and chill.
  • Serve with a spoon an enjoy!

Notes

Chocolate coffee shots can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days!
If you like, you can garnish these shots with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Or top them with a few coffee beans, or chocolate-covered espresso beans! 
To give your shots a stronger coffee flavor, try adding a 1/2 tsp of espresso powder.
