Ghoul’s Guts Shots — A perfectly sweet and spooky Halloween Ghoul’s Guts Shots recipe with a DIY Shot Glass twist. These ice cream cake Halloween shots are the best creepy cocktails!
I’ve concocted quite a few ice cream shot recipes in the history of Sugar & Cloth. But I’ve yet to bust out any Halloween inspired ones.
Valentine’s day? Got you covered. Christmas? Love it so much I made two. This one and this one. A just because ice cream cake shot? Most definitely.
And now… A Ghoul’s Guts Ice Cream Cake Shot recipe just for Halloween partying.
Luckily, ghosts have a tendency to fall in line with my all white color scheme here on the blog. So I just went with it…
Ingredients Needed To Make Ghoul’s Guts Shots
- Almond milk (or your choice of milk)
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Mini un-iced vanilla cupcake — Optional: If you’d rather not have any texture to the milkshake shot, then omit the mini cupcake.
- Creme de Cocoa — A sweet alcoholic liqueur made from cocoa beans with a hint of vanilla.
- Simple syrup or honey — For the rims
- Black sanding sugar — For garnish
How To Make A Mocktail Version of The Ghoul Guts Shots
If you prefer a non-alcoholic version of these Halloween shots, skip the Cream de Cocoa liqueur and add extra equal parts milk.
It’s just as tasty as an ice cream cake shot!

1 — Mix together all of the ingredients (almond milk, ice cream, whipped cream, Creme de Cocoa and mini cupcake) and blend.
2 — For the shot glass rim, dip this glasses in the simple syrup or honey. Then, dip the rims in black sanding sugar. Make sure to cover all of the syrup or honey with sprinkles well so that it doesn’t bleed too much into the ice cream.
3 — Fill each glass and serve immediately.

So cute. Yesterday, I saw a post on candy corn. now these. Perfect for getting in the Halloween spirit.
How much whipped cream does this recipe call for? Is it blended in or used as a garnish?
just a dollop to blend in, but you can add a little or as much as you’d like for sweetness :)
So cute! Love the sugar rim and the mini straws.
