Description
A creamy, tart, and visually stunning frozen mocktail that combines frozen strawberries with full-fat coconut milk and lime juice. It offers the taste of a tropical vacation without any alcohol, making it perfect for summer gatherings and kid-friendly parties.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
- 1 cup (240ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2–4 tablespoons (30-60ml) simple syrup, honey, or agave
- 1 cup (120g) ice (only if strawberries are not frozen solid)
- 1 fresh strawberry slice (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
- 1 lime wheel (for garnish)
- 2–3 fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and freeze them on a baking sheet for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Measure out the coconut milk, lime juice, and sweetener before starting.
- Add frozen strawberries, coconut milk, lime juice, and sweetener to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on low speed to break up the fruit, then gradually increase to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup or lime juice as needed.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or more coconut milk. If too thin, add more frozen strawberries or ice.
- Pour into chilled glasses.
- Garnish with a strawberry slice, lime wheel, toasted coconut flakes, and mint leaves.
- Serve immediately while frozen.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for the best slushy texture; fresh strawberries will make the drink watery unless frozen beforehand. Chill glasses in the freezer before serving to keep the drink cold longer. Toast coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes for added crunch and flavor. Adjust sweetness based on the natural sweetness of the strawberries.
