A kahlua milkshake, or as we call it in South Africa, a Kahula Dom Pedro, is a delicious ice cream cocktail.
It’s boozy dessert basically. Delicious boozy dessert.
A Dom Pedro is a South African favorite found on most restaurant menus and it’s served exactly like this, with short straws and finely grated chocolate on top. It can be made with kahlua or whiskey and sometimes with Amarula, a creamy South African liqueur that isn’t vegan.
The kahlua version is by far the best though because kahlua is just so damn good! I mean coffee liqueur mixed with ice cream, you can see the appeal right?
So I made a vegan version of a kahlua dom pedro and enjoyed every last sip of it!
Jaye and I are both big fans of kahlua anyway, we’re very partial to a Black Russian (kahlua mixed with vodka) not to mention a fabulous kahlua parfait!
It’s too easy – just 4 ingredients including the grated chocolate on top!
This is a perfect dessert for a celebration of any kind. I’m thinking a New Years Eve dinner would be a pretty great time to serve one of these.
Have some nice wine with dinner and then finish off the meal with a deliciously celebratory kahlua milkshake.
I hope you’ll love this kahlua milkshake (Dom Pedro), it’s double-thick, ultra creamy, fabulously boozy, laced with coffee liqueur and topped with dark chocolate!

Hi Alison, happy new year to you. Thanks you so much for all the amazing recipes you share with everyone. I made the kahlua drink today and honestly I was so impressed. Since becoming vegan three years ago I’ve missed not having a baileys, then I came across your kahlua recipe and it’s awesome, just like baileys. You are so kind to share your wonderful recipes. Cheers, love Brenda
Happy New Year Brenda! It’s such a pleasure to share these recipes and I am so happy you enjoyed this one! I think I’m actually going to go and make one of these for us now, hahaha! Cheers!
We had it for New Year’s Eve. It was Great!
Perfect! Glad to hear! 🙂
Hi Alison
Just got this awesome recipe and can’t wait to try but where do I buy coconut cream? Thanks
Usually in the same section of the store as you would find coconut milk. You buy it in cans usually but occasionally in cartons. It’s the creamier version of coconut milk. However, if all you can find is cans of coconut milk (full fat) that will also work fine in this recipe.
