Dom Pedro is a divine, drinking dessert with an ice-cream base which can be served as not only a drink, but for dessert as well
MSG intended for our 21+ readers only
You will find this absolutely decadent drink on just about any South-African restaurant’s dessert menu.
It is however a little different from restaurant to restaurant in that some use Amarula Liqueur and others would use Kahlua Liqueur.
I prefer Amarula as I think it is the most wonderful, exotic liqueur around !
It has been said that the Marula fruit (the overripe fruits) falls from the trees in the wild.
The elephants then eat it and well, let’s just say they’re a happy bunch after a Marula treat !
This is one of the easiest desserts which you can drink, although you might get a light bout of brain-freeze should you drink too quickly.
So thick and frothy ! One really just want to sip away after a hearty meal !
You might also like a chocolatey, minty version of this popular drink >>> Choc-Mint Dom Pedro !

Fernando, yes that is true when used as a Spanish Don. However, in South-Africa we use DOM Pedro ( noun phrase ) and it is derived from the Latin Dominus which is also Master of a household, therefore the Portuguese Dom means more or less the same as the Spanish Don 😊 (different countries, different spellings)
