Notes
For a dairy-free option, ensure that the coconut cream used is free from any dairy ingredients.
You can also add fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing touch.
If you want a thicker consistency, add more ice until the desired thickness is achieved.
This drink can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the freezer; just stir it well before serving to regain its creamy texture.
