Full Recipe

Serves 2

Hands-on time: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

4 tbsp tinned caramel
2 cups (5 large scoops) vanilla ice cream
cup cream
2 shots (60ml) Klipdrift Premium Brandy
slab (25g) peppermint chocolate
2 mini coconut biscuits

Serving suggestion:
Mint sprigs

METHOD

1. To prepare the two cocktail glasses, melt 2 tablespoon of caramel in the microwave for 30 seconds and carefully drizzle it down the insides of the glasses. Refrigerate the glasses until needed.

2. In a blender, add the vanilla ice cream, cream and Klipdrift Premium Brandy along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of caramel. Blend until smooth and creamy and a thick milkshake consistency is achieved. *Chefs Tip: Milk can be used as a substitute for cream.

3. Divide the Don Pedro mixture between the 2 prepared cocktail glasses. *Chefs Tip: Pour carefully so the caramel along the sides of the glasses doesnt smudge.

4. Crush and divide the peppermint chocolate over each Don Pedro and finish each off with a mini coconut biscuit.

5. Garnish each Don Pedro with a fresh mint sprig. Serve immediately and ENJOY!
