Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Seedless watermelon
- 2 cups (crushed or finely grated) Ripe pineapple
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 cups Coconut water
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the watermelon: dice it into small cubes and lightly mash it with a fork in a large mixing bowl. You want some texture, so avoid pureeing it completely.
2. Add the crushed or finely grated pineapple to the bowl with the mashed watermelon. Mix gently to combine.
3. Pour in the coconut milk and coconut water, stirring well to incorporate the liquids with the fruit mixture.
4. Add the sweetened condensed milk and lime juice to the bowl. Stir until the condensed milk is fully blended, adjusting the sweetness and tartness to your taste if desired.
5. Transfer the mixture to a large pitcher, and add the ice cubes directly to the drink to keep it chilled.
6. Serve immediately in glasses, making sure each glass has a balanced mix of fruit and liquid. Optionally garnish with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint for presentation.
