This makes for a great fruit dip for parties!

1 tin condensed milk
1 block of cream cheese
1 x 300ml carton of whipping cream
Galliano to taste.

Beat the cream cheese and condensed milk till it is smooth.
Whip the cream and fold through the cream cheese/condensed milk mix
Now add the Galliano! This is the best bit so don't be shy on it!
Chop up your fruit - I have found strawberries banana and pineapple very popular as a dipping fruit or alternatively you could pour it over fruit salad as a sauce.
Please keep it away from the kiddies though as it can be quite intoxicating!
