one of my favourite indulgent treats is to take a yogurt pot sized vanilla alone and a chocolate alpro, swirl them together in a bowl and heat in microwave, then take out of microwave and crumble gingernut biscuits on top, heavy but yummy comfort food and you should really share as there is a lot in it!
