Dessert Shots
We love making dessert shots like these cheesecake shots for parties! They’re a perfect make ahead, no bake boozy treat that everyone is going to love!
Actually, we make quite a few dessert shot recipes, we got a whole collection you can check out. Sometimes you don’t feel like having dessert after a big meal but you just want something sweet…dessert shots are the best answer.
The other reason I like making dessert shots is because they are so easy. Take these Fireball Whiskey Cheesecake Shots, we start with a store bought topping, add a couple of shots of Fireball to it and the topping is done.
How Do You Make No Bake Cheesecake?
Again, totally easy. Just cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and cream. Beat it up and chill. You can use no bake cheesecake in so many dessert recipes too. Or simple spread it out in a store bought graham cracker crust and dessert is done!
Even if you don’t have a store bought crust, you can easily make one using graham cracker crumbs or crushed graham crackers. Mix them with melted butter and sugar, press them into a pie pan and bake.
For these cheesecake shots we aren’t actually baking the “crust” in the bottom of the shot glass, but it’s a dessert eaten with a spoon.
From a shot glass. So it works totally fine.
If you’re not a Fireball Whiskey fan? No problem. You can use regular whiskey, vodka, or rum too! Pretty much any alcohol that you think goes well with cheesecake flavors is going to be great in this recipe.
Moonshine? Yes. like I said, pretty much anything.

Could you clarify the instructions in part 3 where it says “have cream” please. I thought maybe it meant half the cream but there is no other place that the cream is used. Didn’t know if it meant and cream…
I fixed that for you, it was a typo. Supposed to say “heavy cream”. Enjoy!
Didn’t have enough shot glasses, so used a 8 x 8 cake pan. Awesome flavour and texture was perfect. Just enough “kick”. Firewall whiskey taste is there for sure but not overwhelming.
