Mini "Shot" Desserts

NJ_TMM

I want to do a few different types of mini desserts for a cocktail party on Saturday.  Any thoughts what I can do?  I was thinking - canoli shells and canoli cream; choc cake with choc moose and fudge

 anything else? TIA

Butter Cookie

banana pudding would be easy

Also a gingersnap crust with pumpkin cheesecake filling (or cheesecakeish, minus the baking) or just the filling with a half a cookie sticking out the top

 

Also, it's mousse. Unless it's ground up moose, then I apologize. 

 

You could also do a mini trifle, with fresh berries, pound cake, fresh whipped cream...

I think a cheesecake type 'shot' would be awesome. I've seen them with a pumpkin filling. Sorry I don't have any recipes for you though.

How about tiny creme brules? It's the same as a normal recipe, but you use espresso cups instead of ramekins.

Anything made in a mini muffin tin will work.  Or try the prebaked mini phyllo tart shells filled with lemon curd, or anything that consistency.

Thanks everyone!!  You gave me some great ideas.

 Also sorry about the mousse - i was typing quickly between work and just typed without thinking.  Thanks and sorry

Don't forget the classic "shot" dessert. Jell-o shots.

Oh, I don't care, I just didn't want you to spell it wrong for years then be all OMG WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME I WAS SPELLING IT WRONG sort of like going to a party and having spinach in your teeth all night and no one telling you until you get in your car to leave and see it in your rearview.

I saw something cute on Weddingbee where a shower hostess did shots of milk in little glasses with cut-out heart-shaped brownies placed on top.  You could spike the milk w/ kahlua or Baileys.  Yum.
