Millionaire Shortbread

from Ou Meul, Pinelands, Cape Town on 7 Jan 2020

Millionaire shortbread contains 3 components: Shortbread, caramel and chocolate. As can be seen in the photo, the shake has bits of chocolate floating in it. There is some hint of caramel in there but it’s not particularly strong and you need to go looking for it a bit. I can’t say I experienced any significant amount of shortbread.

The general impression I get is that this is a particularly taste vanilla milkshake. If you have ever had Stracciatella ice-cream then it tastes quite similar to that. This is unsurprising though since I imagine this is what you would get if you put vanilla ice-cream and some millionaire shortbread in a blender.

This shake definitely gets points for the straw, being both paper (or rather, not plastic) and milkshake-sized. I did not once get any pieces of chocolate stuck in the bottom of the straw!
