Desserts don’t really get a lot of play time on my menu, so I thought I’d switch it up and make this boozy milkshake. For this dessert, I’m actually going to use caramel corn. Put a big handful of popcorn into your blender.
Scoop in your favorite vanilla ice cream or custard. Add a few swirls of caramel sauce, pour in the bourbon, and dig in.
