We grew up with milkshakes – on holidays, on the beach and in our grandmother’s kitchens. This grown-up version with a touch of Amarula puts milkshake in the spotlight for a glam dessert.
This recipe is strictly for adults, but we have a children-friendly Cookie Monster milkshake the whole family will enjoy.
