Mmm, alcoholic milkshakes

I don't particularly like sweets - well, most of the time!   If you find me eating a block of Dairy Milk, I am probably less rational than I should be and I might suggest backing away slowly while complementing me or offering tissues.  But back to deserts, there are a few I do like and this is one of them.

Don Pedros are a South African classic and anyone who has worked in an Italian restaurant knows the pain of the desert run and the sheer stickiness of it all.  Essentially, it is an alcoholic milkshake - definitely not for children.

Firstly, locate your blender.  Most people have one but where is its, that is often a mystery.  Alternatively, buy a new one as this will generally mean you find the one you own too.

Take two scoops of good quality vanilla ice-cream and pop in the blender with a little bit of milk.  Then add a tot of one of the following or your favourite shot:

• Peppermint schnapps
• Kahlua
• Brandy
• Whisky

Blend and then garnish with grated chocolate.

So very yum that you might find you need to make more than one.
