A concoction blending crme de noyaux, white crme de cacao, and heavy cream forms a base for a dessert beverage. This is often enhanced with the addition of ice cream, creating a richer, thicker consistency and transforming the alcoholic mix into a sweet, indulgent treat. The vibrant hue often associated with this drink comes from the crme de noyaux, lending to its distinctive visual appeal. A representative serving might include two ounces each of crme de noyaux and white crme de cacao, with four ounces of cream, blended with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The appeal of this blended beverage lies in its dual nature: both a cocktail and a dessert. Its sweet profile makes it a popular choice for after-dinner indulgence. Historically, the drink gained traction in the mid-20th century, becoming a staple in supper clubs and cocktail lounges. Its enduring popularity demonstrates a consistent appreciation for creamy, sweet alcoholic beverages. The relative ease of preparation also contributes to its accessibility and continued enjoyment.
