Not sure how my friend Tim Ward came up with this milkshake. Perhaps it was a rouse to get rid of the post Christmas mince pie glut. Or maybe he was making a shake and thought 'why not, it's Christmas'.
Either way, blending milk with mince pies creates a delicious festive drink. And it's a great way to use up Christmas left overs. (I don't think it would work with sprouts though).
The addition of brandy and/or rum also makes a winter drinks party cocktail to rival eggnog.
How I made it*
- Use one mince pie and half a pint of full fat milk per person.
- Liquidise to form a shake.
- Add a shot of brandy or rum.
- Swap double cream with milk and then freeze to create mince pie ice cream.
- Swap Christmas pud with mince pie to create a Christmas pudding milk shake.
