Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Tropical
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup strawberry puree
- 1 cup ice
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the fresh pineapple chunks and ensuring they are ripe and sweet.
- Add the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth and create a creamy, tropical base.
- In a separate small bowl, prepare the strawberry puree by blending fresh strawberries until completely smooth. Strain if desired to remove seeds.
- Take two tall clear glasses and have them ready for layering the drink.
- Slowly pour the pineapple-coconut mixture into the glasses, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Carefully pour the strawberry puree down the inside of the glass, allowing it to create a "lava flow" effect by naturally swirling through the white mixture.
- Garnish the top of each drink with a fresh strawberry and optionally add a small pineapple wedge.
- Serve immediately with a long spoon or straw to allow guests to mix the layers if desired.
Tips
- Use the ripest, sweetest pineapple chunks for the most intense tropical flavor.
- For the best "lava flow" effect, pour the strawberry puree very slowly down the inside of the glass.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the drink extra cool and enhance the layering effect.
- If you want a smoother texture, strain the strawberry puree to remove seeds.
- Use fresh, high-quality coconut milk for the creamiest base possible.
- For an extra touch of elegance, use clear tall glasses to showcase the beautiful layering.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the dramatic visual effect and optimal temperature.
- Experiment with different fruit combinations, but keep the basic technique the same for that signature lava flow look.
