Argentinians love ice cream, and are justly proud of the high-quality Italian style ‘helados’ that are available. Don Pedro is a popular dessert in many restaurants, made with good-quality vanilla and a generous amount of whisky. Ice cream and whisky are also blended together as a cocktail, decorated with grated chocolate.
