Red Velvet Cake Milkshake Shooters

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and this is one milkshake that will bring all the boys to the yard.

I know, lame joke, but I just had to get that out of my system. Now, on to more important things, like milkshakes! More specifically, cute little milkshakes in shot glasses. And it gets even better- they taste like cake! After seeing these mini milkshake shooters on heygorg.com, I knew I wanted to make a version of these for Valentine’s day. I started by dipping the rims of some shot glasses in melted white chocolate, and then coating them with mini heart sprinkles.

Lemon Pie Dessert Shooters

I have a thing for mini desserts. If you follow my blog, you may remember these Peppermint Bark Cheesecake Shooters that I posted a few weeks ago. They were so easy to put together that I decided to do a lemon pie version. I especially love miniature desserts around the holidays. After being bombarded with sweets all season long, a couple of bites of dessert is all it takes to satisfy my sweet tooth. Plus, there’s the whole cuteness factor.

These pie shooters are made of 3 things- graham crackers, lemon curd, and whipped cream. If you want to make it really easy on yourself, you can use pre-made lemon curd and cool whip, but I’ve included the recipes that I used. For me, there’s really no substitute for freshly whipped cream.
