We’ve had Nutella slathered on our pancakes, frothed in our milkshakes and oozing out of churros - but the latest iteration of the famous spread may just be the best one yet.

One clever blogger has given everyone’s favourite chocolate spread a boozy makeover, creating a deliciously creamy Nutella liqueur that can be served over ice.

Amy Kelly posted a recipe for the nutty spirit on her blog Thermomix Me a Drink, Darling, where she regularly posts experimental DIY drinks concoctions.

Thankfully for cash-strapped Londoners, the party favourite in the making is created using just four ingredients - UHT cream, sugar vodka and Nutella.

Kelly advises you warm up the cream, sugar and Nutella in a pan, before adding vodka to the mixture.

Next, you need to decant the liquid into sealed bottles and leave them to cool.

Ingeniously, the UHT milk means that your bottled booze will last up to three months - so you’ll have plenty to last you right up until New Year.

Just imagine settling down to a night of Christmas TV after indulging in turkey with all the trimmings with a glass of cool, creamy Nutella liqueur in your hand to wash it all down with. We’d say festive goals had been set.

It’s unknown how many calories are in each drink, but considering that 2016 has been on of the most turbulent years in modern history, we reckon that’s a good enough excuse to indulge in a tumbler or two during the Queen's speech.
