BAILEYS IRISH CREAM
This is the easiest recipe and the results are always delicious.
It is also very cost effective. I prefer to omit the coffee.

3 tins Nestle Condensed Milk
3 tins Carnation Evaporated Milk
3 x 300m Bulla Thickened Cream
1 ½ x 250g blocks Cadbury Chocolate
6 tsp Vanilla Essence
700ml Scotch
Optional - 1 ½ tsp Coffee

Melt chocolate in a double saucepan. Heat condensed milk and gradually
stir into melted chocolate. Mixture will become lumpy, don't worry, just
blend until smooth in an electric blender. Allow to cool.
In a very large bowl mix chocolate with remaining ingredients.
Pour into empty, cleaned scotch bottles and refrigerate at all times.

Makes 5-6 x 750ml bottles

4 scoops good quality Vanilla Ice Cream
1 ltr Soda Water

1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Cream

125g Chocolate

To make the sauce : gently melt sugar in a small saucepan, stir in cream

Add more cream, if necessary, to dilute. Allow to cool.
Keep 4 tall drinking glasses in the freezr until ready to serve. Just before
serving put 1-2 tbs of the chocolate sauce in the bottom of each glass,
then twirl the glass around to coat the sides of the glass with chocolate.
To each glass add a good scoop of ice cream. Pour in the soda and stir
briefly with a long handled spoon, just enough to mix the chocolate and
soda so the whole drink is frothy.
Drink with a straw and then scoop out the ice cream with a spoon.
