How I Make My Tequila Rose Strawberry Whipped Pudding
1. Make the Pudding Base
In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it starts to thicken — usually about 2 minutes.
2. Add the Tequila Rose
Next, I slowly pour in the Tequila Rose Strawberry Cream Liqueur, whisking gently until the pudding becomes smooth and luscious.
3. Fold in Whipped Topping
I fold in whipped topping to make the pudding light and airy. Don’t overmix — you want it to stay fluffy!
4. Chill
I cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
5. Serve and Garnish
When it’s time to serve, I spoon the pudding into dessert glasses or small bowls and top with extra whipped topping. I love adding a fresh strawberry or sprinkling some crushed graham crackers on top for texture.
My Favorite Tips for Next-Level Whipped Pudding

- For extra texture, layer the pudding in glasses with crushed cookies or graham crackers.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or strawberry slices for an elegant finish.
- Serve in shot glasses or small dessert cups for a fun party presentation.
What to Pair with This Dessert
- Chocolate-dipped strawberries for a double strawberry hit.
