Dessert shooters a big right now. I love viewing them. They’re so cute. I have always thought it would be great if they had “bites” on menus because I just want to try everything. $1 bites. Yum. Well, I have seen the dessert shooters. I haven’t really had one. I browsed the internet a tad for an option, but I wasn’t satisfied with what I found. I think being in the blogging sphere has made me a bit more brave in branching out and trying my own thing. I’m normally a recipe follower. I’ve even said, “I don’t think you need to be a good cook. I just think you need good recipes and know how to read.” I semi decided to make up my own dessert shooter. I say “semi” because I cheated a bit. I stole from two recipes I already have posted about. The bottom layer of this shooter is a crumbled version of my key lime pie crust. The cream layer is the filling for the red, white and blue Fourth of July sugar cookie tart I made. The raspberry is just a simple raspberry compote of sorts. This was definitely a huge hit at the baby shower this past weekend. This can be made ahead. It made 20 shooters, and you may have some left over. I have had a couple inquiries about where I purchased the containers for this dessert. I found them at Party City.
Graham Cracker Layer
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Add melted butter and stir to coat well. Leave as a crumble and put into a 9×13 pan. Bake 5-7 minutes. Cool.

I love mini desserts and these look awesome!
Yum!! Those look wonderful! I could have one and not feel totally guilty for enjoying it. Love mini desserts 🙂
Kinda like jello shots without the alcohol and if you can eat just one you’ve really portioned controlled.

Yummy! I love these little desserts. Raspberry and lime is a great combo. I have seen these around so I was so excited for you to share them at Mom’s Library. Thank you!
I would love to make these for a wedding. How far in advance could I make and assemble the shooters?
You could have all the components made up a few days in advance. I would say a day ahead would be safe. Maybe even two. I would try it before the wedding to see what you think. I know I had left overs I was eating for a few days that still tasted could. The bottom crumb layer does become a bit more moist after the cream part soaks in. Let me know how it goes and what worked. It would be helpful for others that are considering these.
hello i’m planning to make it today. can i make it over night and have it for tomorrow night party?
Yup. It shoudl be just fine. Let me know how it goes!
