If your choice is the latter, then you might need to pay South Bank a little visit. Because there, dear shake searcher, you will find liquid gold. Gold Digger in fact – that is the name of this crazy shake, and yes it is a real thing – and you can find it at Mister Fitz’s Finest Ice Cream. The ice-creamery is the second of its kind (Little Street opened late last year), and part of the sweet-treat mecca that is Damian Griffiths’ new dessert precinct at South Bank. Taking up a wide corner on Grey Street, the mini precinct consists of three side-by-side kiosks – Doughnut Time, Mister Fitz’s and Chester Street. That’s right. Doughnuts. And ice-cream. And ice-cream sandwiches. And milkshakes. And cakes. All0fthesweets. The kiosks are traditional shop fronts designed for take-away, but if you can’t wait to devour your sugary goodness you can park your keister at one of the outdoor tables.

Doughnut Time offers its full product range, including the new 100% vegan Viva Las Vegan doughnut, launched this week. Mister Fitz’s is also scooping its full selection of ice-creams and ice-cream sandwiches, accompanied by some smooth RnB and hip-hop tunes. The ice-creamery is also whipping up signature shakes, all maintaining the classic hip-hop theme – Getting’ Jiggy Wit It has milk and cookies ice-cream, whipped cream, Hershey’s bar and Oreo cookie, California Love is a malted vanilla shake with whipped cream, unicorn crumbs (just go with it) and a cherry on top. Chester Street has a smaller range than its big Newstead sibling, which will change regularly. Expect to drool over the likes of mini Oreo and Kit Kat cheesecakes, M&M brownies, raspberries and cream cake, and white chocolate unicorn cream pie (again, just go with it).
