If I had to sum up the flavour of this advocaat dessert, I’d say that it tastes rather like a boozy trifle, but without the fruity element. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, so it floats on the cocktail, serve with a small spoon and if you like, garnish with a sprig of holly.The sponge cake can be made in advance (it can even be frozen), ready for topping with the advocaat cream and decorations just before serving.

For a playful twist, raid the cupboards and create a Custard Dream Snowball by adding cream sherry and garnishing with a custard cream biscuit for a delightful touch of whimsy. That’s what makes Warninks Adcocaat so special, it’s inextricably linked to one of the greatest family celebrations of the year. It is a classic brand that is enjoyed in cocktails like Snowball as well as neat with whipped cream on top. Always grease and line your cake tin with butter and baking parchment, even if it is a non-stick pan.Its rich content of protein and minerals with fine brandy obviously provided food for legal argument! The parchment helps protect the edge of the cake from browning too much and makes it much easier to remove the cake from the pan once baked. I braced myself for something weird, especially since its consistency is more pudding-like than liqueur-like.
