Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup rum (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 2 cups of frozen strawberries, 1 cup of coconut cream, 1/2 cup of pineapple juice, 1/4 cup of rum (if using), and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
- In a blender, add the frozen strawberries. Make sure they are evenly distributed at the bottom of the blender for a smoother blend.
- Next, pour in the coconut cream. This will add a rich and creamy texture to your coladas.
- Add the pineapple juice to the blender. This will provide a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the strawberries.
- If you are using rum, pour in 1/4 cup now. This will give your coladas an authentic Caribbean twist.
- Finally, add 1 tablespoon of lime juice. This will enhance the flavors and add a refreshing zing.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more pineapple juice or coconut cream to reach your desired texture.
- After achieving the perfect consistency, taste the mixture. Adjust sweetness or tartness if needed by adding more pineapple juice or lime juice to your liking.
- Pour the creamy strawberry colada mixture into chilled glasses. This will keep your drinks refreshingly cool.
- For an extra touch, garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry or a slice of lime on the rim.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, creamy frozen strawberry coladas with friends and family!
Tips
- Use frozen strawberries for the best texture and to avoid diluting the drink with ice
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the colada colder for longer
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add a splash of extra pineapple juice
- If the mixture is too thick, gradually add more liquid; if too thin, add more frozen strawberries
- For a more intense flavor, consider using fresh, ripe strawberries that you've frozen yourself
- A high-powered blender works best to achieve that perfectly smooth, creamy consistency
- Experiment with garnishes like mint leaves, pineapple wedges, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut
