Ms. Trunchbull’s Hammered Throw:
- chocolate cake*
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 cup cold whole milk
- 1 (3.8 oz) package of chocolate pudding mix
- 1 (8 oz) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
Combine vodka, milk, and pudding mix in a large bowl and whisk till smooth. Fold in whipped topping until it is smooth. Highly recommend dividing the mixture up into smaller containers/bowls to set in the freezer for a couple of hours. The vodka is potent in this recipe so feel free to cut down and use more milk (e.g. 0.5 cup vodka, 1.5 cups milk).
Alternate a layer of cake then pudding in a pint glass until full. Spoons are recommended.
*Store bought cake is fine but recommend no icing as the pudding will be sweet enough. If baking the cake yourself, add some baileys to the wet ingredients for flavor.
