Ingredients Needed to MakeGhoul’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.It would just now be an ice-cream shot instead of an ice-cream cake shot.You can use a pre-made store cupcake. Or we have an easy vanilla cupcake recipe here.
Creme de de Cacao—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. You can use black sprinkles, but sanding sugar is smaller and finer so will stick to the rims easier.
Can You Make a Mocktail Version of the Halloween Ghost Shots?
Yes, you can easily make a non-alcoholic version of these Halloween shots.Simply skip the Creme de Cacao liqueur and add extra equal parts milk.It’s just as tasty as an ice cream cake shot!
We do recommend including the vanilla cupcake if you do opt for a mocktail version.The kids will love it (because what kid doesn’t love cupcakes)?Plus, it will give the shots additional depth and flavoring when you omit Creme de Cacao.
How to MakeGhoul’s Guts Shots
1 — In a blender, mix together all of the ingredients (almond milk, ice cream, whipped cream, Creme de Cacao and mini cupcake).
2 — For the shot glass rim, dip this glasses in the simple syrup or honey.
Then, dipthe rims inblack 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.
How to Make the Halloween Ghosts DIY Shot Glasses
For the temporary ghost faces, we used a quick littleDIY trick from this postwith window clings!Just cut out the shapes for your eye and mouths.
Lastly, just peel and stick them onto your glass.The eyes and mouth don’t even have to be perfectly shaped.And the best part is that this is all temporary.We discovered that it was easier first decorating the shot glasses before you rim and make the co*cktail.
