Ingredients

  • 3 oz bourbon
  • 3 oz crème de cacao liqueur
  • 3 oz heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 dash chocolate bitters optional
  • 6-8 tbsp crushed chocolate cookies
  • 4 vodka gummy worms or regular gummy worms
  • 2 mint sprigs for garnish
  • Edible flowers for garnish
  • Whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker with ice, add the bourbon, creme de cacao, heavy cream, chocolate bitters (optional), and cocoa powder. Shake well until chilled.
  • Strain the cocktail pudding mixture into glasses.
  • Add a layer of whipped cream to the glass, just below the rim, being sure to cover the pudding. 
  • Layer crushed cookie crumbs over the whipped cream. 
  • Garnish with mint sprigs and edible flowers. Insert gummy worms into the cookie crumbs so they appear to be coming out of the "dirt".

Notes

To enjoy as a non-alcoholic milkshake beverage: In a blender, mix 1 cup of milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Then, add 4 cups of vanilla ice cream and blend until well combined.
