Instructions:

Tips for Success:
-
Cream of Coconut: Ensure you’re using cream of coconut, not coconut cream or coconut milk. Cream of coconut has a sweetened consistency that adds richness and sweetness to the drink.
-
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before blending. Depending on your preference, you can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less cream of coconut.
-
Texture: For a thicker texture, use more ice cubes. For a smoother consistency, blend for a longer duration.
