Boston Creme Cake Shooters
These Boston Creme Cake Shooters are a quick and simple dessert that doesn’t leave you asking yourself why the hell you just ate all that!
My new friend Julie of Cincy Event Planning {if you are getting married (or even just throwin’ a party! she’s the girl you want!} texted last week mentioning she needed some ideas for implementing foods for a Super Bowl Party! She mentioned something about shooters and Boston Creme Pies or donuts and I stopped listening.
{Sorry Jules!}
I immediately had this idea for this dessert in my head. It omits all the calories that the Boston Creme Donut and the Boston Creme Cake have. It is still a sweet and heavenly treat that I bet your fans will go crazy for! Not to mention I threw this recipe together in under 15 minutes total.
If you are making these Boston Creme Cake Shooters for a crowd you can totally make them a few hours ahead of time and keep in your refrigerator. I wouldn’t do any longer than a few hours though because the angel food cake will begin to get soggy due to the pudding.
The best part about this recipe is not the low calorie option, but, the fact that you don’t have to heat up your house to have a sweet treat!
Ingredients

- Angel Food Cake (bought from my local bakery!)

Boston Creme Cake Shooters
Ingredients
- 1 Box Vanilla pudding
- 1 ½ c Skim Milk
- Angel Food Cake bought from my local bakery!
- 2 oz. Semi Sweet Chocolate Morsels or melting chocolate will work too
- 1 TBSP Butter
- 2 TBSP Cold Milk
- 1 c Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl make your pudding by pouring in the packet of vanilla pudding with 1 ½ C cold milk. The box will say 2 C, but, go with me on this! Stir until combined and place in fridge.
- In a small sauce pan place 2 TBSP milk, butter, and chocolate morsels on medium low heat. Mix until the butter and morsels have melted. You can always use the Hershey Syrup Recipe as well. The syrup won't be as thick, but, you can use if you have on hand or don't like melting chocolate!
- Stir in the powdered sugar to your chocolate mixture. Using a whisk dissolve the powdered sugar and set aside.
- Slice your Angel Food Cake about ½" thick. Using biscuit cutters use the one that's a size smaller than the glass you'll be serving your Boston Creme Shooters from. For me I used wine glasses (I needed tall shot glasses, but, have sick kids on my hands!). You can serve these in ice cream bowls or regular glass cups for all I care! It all tastes the same.
- Place one piece of Angel Food Cake in the bottom of your dish. Layer with a TBSP of vanilla pudding. Place another piece of Angel Food Cake and TBSP vanilla pudding two more times. Your tower is now complete!
- Once the chocolate syrup is cooled (or right before serving) spoon onto the top of the Boston Creme tower and let it drop down the sides.
