  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk chilled overnight
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries

Method
 

Prep the Ingredients
  1. Gather all the ingredients and ensure the coconut milk is chilled overnight to separate the cream.
Blend the Base

Taste and Adjust

Serve
  1. Spoon the mixture into serving bowls or glasses. For a pretty finish, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

1.Setting Coconut Milk in the Fridge
Ideally, coconut milk is processed and chilled overnight to separate the cream. This cream is necessary to make a rich and creamy base.
2.Using frozen fruits
Frozen strawberries are added to the dessert, creating the structure required for consistency and eliminating the need for more ice, thus allowing for a thick and creamy texture.
3.Optional Silken Tofu
Adding silken tofu is not compulsory but encourages extra creaminess and a gentle protein boost.
4.Sweetener Adjustments
Sweetness should be adjusted to your taste. Honey or maple syrup naturally sweetens the treat but can leave you without that option for a less sugary alternative.
5.Texture Customization
Longer blending yields smoother textures. To achieve a chunky texture, give the blender a few pulses and leave small pieces of fruit intact.
