Hot Campfire Mudslide

A warm, boozy mudslide recipe โ€” chocolate pudding mix thickens hot cocoa into a glossy mug that holds its Kahlรบa.

This campfire mudslide is a warm, boozy drinking cocoa โ€” chocolate pudding mix whisked into hot milk thickens into a glossy mug that holds the Kahlรบa instead of going watery.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1ยฝ cups Almond milk
  • 4 Tbsp Fancy Monkey Chocolate Pudding Mix
  • 2 oz Coffee liqueur (Kahlรบa), or to taste
  • To top Whipped cream + cocoa powder or chocolate shavings

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat
    Warm the milk in a pot over the campfire or stove until steaming โ€” donโ€™t let it boil.
  2. Whisk
    Pull it off the heat and whisk in the chocolate pudding mix for about a minute, until smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened.
  3. Spike
    Stir in the coffee liqueur.
  4. Pour
    Pour into mugs and finish with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa or chocolate shavings.

TIPS

Keep the heat gentle โ€” let it steam, not boil, so the mix thickens instead of scorching. Want it thicker, closer to a spoonable drinking pudding? Add another tablespoon of mix; looser, add a splash more warm milk. Booze-free version: skip the liquor and stir in a shot of brewed camp coffee for a mocha mudslide the whole crew can drink. A square of dark chocolate dropped in while itโ€™s hot melts into extra richness. Best made fresh and sipped by the fire.

FAQ

How do you make a hot mudslide?

Whisk chocolate pudding mix into hot milk until it thickens into a glossy drinking cocoa, then stir in Kahlua and vodka โ€” the pudding mix keeps it from going watery.

Can I make it non-alcoholic?

Yes โ€” leave out the Kahlua and vodka for a rich hot chocolate; add a splash of coffee for the mudslide flavor.

Why add pudding mix to hot cocoa?

It thickens the milk into a velvety, glossy mug that holds the liqueur instead of separating or going thin.

What liquor goes in a mudslide?

Classic mudslides use Kahlua, vodka, and sometimes Irish cream; use what you like.

Can I make a batch?

Yes โ€” scale it up in a pot on low heat, whisking, and ladle into mugs.
